Novel approaches to improve the particle size distribution prediction of a classical emulsion polymerization model
TLDR
In this paper, a possibly size dependent stochastic term is added to the deterministic growth kernel to account for the inhomogeneities of the growth process, and the growth kernel is extracted from the characteristics of the transient experimental particle size distributions.About:

Particle by Particle Kinetic Monte Carlo Tracking of Reaction and Mass Transfer Events in Miniemulsion Free Radical Polymerization
TL;DR: In this article, it is demonstrated that the kinetics need to be followed particle by particle while acknowledging the difference in radical and monomer concentration per particle, in contrast to the conventional Smith-Ewart methodology.

Is Modeling the PSD in Emulsion Polymerization a Finished Problem? An Overview
Nida Sheibat-Othman,Hugo M. Vale,Hugo M. Vale,Jordan Pohn,Jordan Pohn,Timothy F. L. McKenna,Timothy F. L. McKenna +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors point out that modeling of emulsion polymerization processes is not a "solved problem" or that it is no longer necessary to perform fundamental research in this area.

Experimental validation of a mathematical model for the evolution of the particle morphology of waterborne polymer-polymer hybrids: Paving the way to the design and implementation of optimal polymerization strategies
TL;DR: In this article, a model to predict the evolution of particle morphology during seeded semibatch emulsion polymerization process was evaluated, and the model captured well the effect of process variables on particle morphology, opening the way to the design and implementation of optimal strategies.

A qualitative comparison between population balances and stochastic models for non-isothermal antisolvent crystallization processes
TL;DR: The goal of the present work is to model the crystal growth processes mediated by both antisolvent feed and temperature variations through the time evolution of the Particle Size Distribution (PSD) by exploiting two different approaches.

An improved weighted essentially non-oscillatory scheme for hyperbolic conservation laws
TL;DR: An improved version of the classical fifth-order weighted essentially non-oscillatory finite difference scheme of WENO-JS for hyperbolic conservation laws is developed, with a 25% reduction in CPU costs, since no mapping is necessary.

On the solution of population balance equations by discretization - III. Nucleation, growth and aggregation of particles
TL;DR: In this paper, a new discretization method for solving population balance equations for simultaneous nucleation, growth and aggregation of particles is proposed, which combines the best features of the discretisation technique (Kumar and Ramkrishna, 1996, Chem. Engng. 51, 1311-1337), i.e., designing discrete equations to obtain desired properties of a size distribution directly, applicability to an arbitrary grid to control resolution and computational efficiency, with the method of characteristics to offer a technique which is very general, powerful and overcomes the crucial problems of numerical
