Abstract

The polymer reaction engineering group at EPFL takes an active part in the following research fields: Reaction engineering:
• Kinetic modeling of polymerization reactions (lab and pilot scale reactors), free radical, polyepoxydation, polycondensation.
• Development, scale-up and optimization of continuous polymerization processes.
• Development of inline analytical sensors for polymerization process control.
Polymerization reactions:
• Polymerization initiated by multifunctional initiators.
• Polymerization under supercritical conditions.
• Development of selective adsorbents from modified polymers.
Several topics such as inline sensors, multifunctional initiators, polyepoxydation and modification of polymer matrices are presented.
