Abstract

Emulsion polymerisation is widely used in industry to produce a large range of products. Many important properties of the polymer products are strongly influenced by the particle size distribution (PSD) of the latex. PSD is driven by three major phenomena: particle nucleation, growth and coagulation, each of which strongly interact with each other, present irreversible traits and have widely different time constants, thereby rendering PSD control challenging. In this study a population balance model is used to develop feed policy to attain target PSD. A multi-objective optimisation strategy that targets the individual phenomena of nucleation, growth and coagulation is adopted.
