emulsion copolymerization of styrene and butyl acrylate in the presence of n-dodecyl mercaptan as
chain transfer agent (CTA). Mathematical model of the polymerization reaction involved is used to
predict the glass transition temperature of produced polymer, global monomer conversion, the number
and weight average molecular weights, the particle size distribution and the amount of residual
monomers. This model, a set of hybrid differential algebraic equations (DAEs), is implemented into
gPROMS environment for modeling, simulation, and optimization.
