This book discusses practical aspects of polymerization monitoring, making use of ample case studies, and including strategies for implementation and benefits to R&D and industrial production. Along with an overview of fundamentals, the book describes specific spectroscopic and other monitoring methods like Raman and Mie imaging, light scattering, infra–red spectroscopy, and calorimetry. The text also features a chapter on Automatic Continuous Online Monitoring of Polymerization reactions (ACOMP), and coverage of new online means of detection and applications such as natural products, and stimuli responsive and bioactive polymers.
