Branching and Networkformation in Polymers -Comparison of Monte-Carlo Simulations, Methods of Moments and Detailed Description of the MWD

摘要

Different modelling techniques for branched and crosslinked polymers: method of moments, detailed balance of branched species and arcs, as well as Monte Carlo Methods are compared with regard to application areas. Examples consider the formation of a broad molecular weight distribution in the pre gelation regime, the production of a rubber with a gel content of around 60 % and the net work stability of a highly crosslinked polymer.
