A molecular weight distribution (MWD) estimator for batch methyl methacrylate solution polymerization is implemented experimentally for on-fine control and estimation of the MWD. The estimator is based on an extended Kafman filter and provides current estimates of the entire MWD, reaction temperature, monomer conversion, and initiator conversion. It uses a detailed polymerisation model, onfine monomer conversion measurements, temperature measurements, and periodic, time-delayed measurements of the MWD from an on-fine size-exclusion chromatograph. The estimator is shown to perform well with several on-fine MWD estimation experiments. Real-time feedback control of the molecular weight is presented by utilizing the on-fine MWD information
