An Integrated Framework for Optimisation and Control of Key Product Properties in Emulsion Polymerisation. Emulsion polymerization is of major industrial importance. In addition to process efficiency, the use of water as the reactor medium provides environmental benefits. This proposal is aimed at building an integrated framework to analyse, model, control and optimise emulsion polymerisation systems in order to understand, design and operate such complex systems to obtain desired polymer product characteristics. Complex kinetic, transport and evolution equations will be analysed and solved for predicting and controlling key product properties. This project will provide not only a significant advance in fundamental knowledge of polymerisation systems but will also enable production of cost-effective ?designer polymers? for a wide-range of applications.
