Polymer extrudate swell is a rheological phenomenon taking place after polymer melt flow
emerges the die exit of extrusion equipment, due to flow redistributions and molecular stress …

The molecular weight distribution (MWD) is possibly the most important characteristic of a
polymer. Polymers derive many of their physical properties from their MWD. Therefore, since …

Plastics show the strongest production growth of all bulk materials over the last decade. The
industry's current growth trajectory is exponential and plastic production is expected to …

Monte Carlo (MC) is a term quite common in the research community but, quite surprisingly,
it may possess a different meaning among researchers in different areas. This paradox is …

Precise simulation of the topology structure of low‐density polyethylene (LDPE) chain is
significant for product properties research. However, the chain structure symbolization …

Good control on molecular properties, and as a consequence on end-use properties, is very
important for low-density polyethylene (LDPE) manufacturers. However, the connection …

High-fidelity models of polymer processes should include the prediction of distributions of
polymer properties, including multivariate distributions. Deterministic models with this …

A comprehensive mathematical model and an efficient strategy for its solution are presented
to describe the complete molecular weight distribution (MWD) in the free‐radical …

The production of low‐density polyethylene (LDPE) in high‐pressure tubular reactors is
widely studied due to its extensive use worldwide. Reaction conditions have a crucial impact …
