Fundamental Modeling of Solid-State Polymerization Process Systems for Polyesters and Polyamides

The dissertation describes and assembles the building blocks for sound and accurate models for solid-state polymerization process systems of condensation polymers, particularly poly(ethylene terephthalate) and nylon-6. The work centers on an approach for modeling commercial-scale, as opposed to labo...
