Resumen:
In this work a comprehensive mathematical model of the nitroxide mediated polymerizationin tubular reactors is developed. The model is able to predict average molecularproperties, such as the average molecular weights and copolymer composition. Besides,detailed calculation of the copolymer microstructure is included. The model is able topredict the bidimensional molecular weight distribution of the copolymer, the sequencelength distribution, and the global molecular weight distribution and copolymer compositiondistribution. In particular, styrene?a methyl styrene and styrene?methyl methacrylatecopolymerizations are studied. Model outputs are consistent with known featuresof the system. The detailed information on the copolymer molecular structure providedby the model makes it a valuable tool for the process design.
