NEW TECHNOLOGIES: Modeling of Anionic Polymerization in Flow With Coupled Variations of Concentration, Viscosity, and Diffusivity
Bruno Cortese, Timothy Noel, Mart H.J.M. de Croon, Simon Schulze, Elias Klemm, Volker Hessel*
This paper explains the reasons behind the very low polydispersity index obtained in living anionic polymerizations in microstructured reactors. From the results, it can be explained that a narrow molecular weight distribution can be obtained due to the presence of a highly segregated flow behavior in microflow.
