Cover article in Reaction Chemistry and Engineering on interplay of chain length and particle size distribution in miniemulsion copolymerization

(28-10-2019)

The kinetic Monte Carlo platform as available at LCT has been utilized to understand minemulsion radical polymerization of styrene and N-vinylcaprolactam in collaboration with Prof. Pich (DWI Aachen & Aachen-Maastricht institute for biobased materials). Focus is on the interplay of the chain length and particle size distribution. Authors for this publication in Reaction Chemistry and Engineering (SCI-IF 2018: 3.935) are Y.M Marien, P.H.M. Van Steenberge, A. Pich, and D.R. D’hooge.
