About this document

Surfactant Effects in Styrene Polymerization by Mario Misael Machado Lòpez is a document available to read on EtoBox.

This document summarizes a study that developed a detailed model to simulate emulsion polymerization of styrene in a batch reactor and predict the evolution of the particle size distribution. The model incorporates population balance equations to account for particle formation via nucleation and coagulation. It examines the effects of using binary surfactant systems containing sodium dodecyl sulfate (anionic) and Brij35s (non-ionic) surfactants at different mass ratios. Increasing the fraction of non-ionic
