Modeling of Molecular Weight Distributions in Ziegler-Natta Catalyzed Ethylene Copolymerizations

The objective of this work is to develop mathematical models to predict molecular weight distributions (MWDs) of ethylene copolymers produced in an industrial gas-phase reactor using a Ziegler-Natta (Z-N) catalyst. Because of the multi-site nature of Z-N catalysts, models of Z-N catalyzed copolymeri...
