copolymerization reactor of styrene and butyl acrylate in the presence of n-C12 mercaptan as a chain
transfer agent.. The model is used to predict the global monomers conversion, the average molecular
weights, the particle size distribution and the amount of residual monomers. A subset of the most
influential parameters of the model is determined using a parameter estimability approach and identified
by minimizing the errors between the predicted and measured data. Some parameters are also obtained
from literature. The model is then validated by batch and fed-batch experimental measurements.
