Heuristic Search Strategy for Transforming Microstructural Patterns to Optimal Copolymerization Recipes
Mohammadi, Yousef; Saeb, Mohammad Reza; Penlidis, Alexander (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 ... -
Intelligent Monte Carlo: A new paradigm for inverse polymerization engineering
Mohammadi, Yousef; Saeb, Mohammad Reza; Penlidis, Alexander; Jabbari, Esmaiel; Zinck, Philippe; Stadler, Florian; Matyjaszewski, Krzysztof (Wiley, 2018-05)Traditional computational methods simulate the microstructure of polymer chains from input reaction conditions, but a need exists for predicting optimum reaction conditions in a computationally-demanding multi-variable ... -
Molecular Architecture Manipulation in Free Radical Copolymerization: An Advanced Monte Carlo Approach to Screening Copolymer Chains with Various Comonomer Sequence Arrangements
Saeb, Mohammad Reza; Mohammadi, Yousef; Pakdel, Amir; Penlidis, Alexander (Wiley, 2016-07-01)A Kinetic Monte Carlo (KMC) simulation approach was adopted in this study to capture evolutionary events in the course of free radical copolymerization, through which batch and starved-feed semibatch processes were compared. ... -
Towards Olefin Multi-block Copolymers with Tailored Properties: A Molecular Perspective
Mohammadi, Yousef; Saeb, Mohammad Reza; Penlidis, Alexander; Jabbari, Esmaiel; Stadler, Florian; Zinck, Philippe; Vivaldo-Lima, Eduardo (Wiley, 2021-05)Recent progress in macromolecular reaction engineering has enabled the synthesis of sequence-controlled polymers. The advent of Olefin Block Copolymers (OBCs) via chain shuttling polymerization of ethylene with α-olefins ... -
Visualization of bivariate sequence length-chain length distribution in free radical copolymerization
Saeb, Mohammad Reza; Mohammadi, Yousef; Rastin, Hadi; Kermaniyan, Tayebeh Sadat; Penlidis, Alexander (Wiley, 2017-08)Copolymer properties and processability depend on copolymer microstructure, i.e., copolymer composition and monomer unit arrangements along copolymer chains. To predict ultimate properties of copolymers, one needs complete ...
