Binary vs. Ternary Reactivity Ratios: Appropriate Estimation Procedures with Terpolymerization Data
(Elsevier, 2018-08-01)There is a widely accepted analogy between copolymerization and terpolymerization mechanisms that has allowed researchers to use reactivity ratios obtained for binary pairs (from copolymerization experiments) in models ... -
Case Studies with Mathematical Modeling of Free-radical Multi-component Bulk/Solution Polymerizations:Part 2
(Taylor & Francis, 2017)In Part 2 of this series of two extensive overviews of multi-component polymerization case studies, we again present mathematical modeling results with experimental confirmations. Part 2 represents a refinement and ... -
Case studies with mathematical modelling of free radical multicomponent bulk/solution polymerizations. Part 1.
(Taylor & Francis, 2015-07)In part 1 of this series of two extensive overviews of multi-component polymerization case studies, we present mathematical modelling results with experimental confirmations. The case studies are from free-radical, bulk ... -
Heuristic Search Strategy for Transforming Microstructural Patterns to Optimal Copolymerization Recipes
(Wiley, 2018-03-12)Manipulation and optimization of copolymer microstructure for tailoring final properties is of great importance in macromolecular science and engineering. Uncovering the complexities of the interrelationships between ... -
Investigation of Reactivity Ratios for the AMPS/AAm/AAc Terpolymer and Associated Copolymers
(University of Waterloo, 2015-07-29)Water-soluble polymers of acrylamide (AAm) and acrylic acid (AAc) have significant potential in enhanced oil recovery, as well as in other specialty applications. However, to improve the shear strength of the polymer, it ... -
Shear Viscosity of Poly (acrylamide/acrylic acid) Solutions
(Wiley, 2016-02-22)Acrylamide (AAm)/Acrylic acid (AAc) copolymers are being used in a wide spectrum of applications, from which enhanced oil recovery (EOR) is the target application in this research study. The shear viscosity of the copolymer ...
