摘要
A new model is presented for copolymer composition distributions in a stirred tank reactor with unmixed feed streams. The new model is a variant which now explicitly considers the effects of backmixing on the popular, lamellar stretch model. It can also be regarded as an application to time-dependent slab geometries of the droplet diffusion model. An experimental technique based on gradient elution thin-layer chromatography was developed to measure the copolymer composition distribution in styrene-methyl methacrylate copolymers. Results for a laboratory-scale, stirred tank reactor showed good agreement with the statistical or Stockmeyer distribution, thus indicating a close approach to perfect mixing in this small vessel. An upper limit on the initial striation thickness was calculated to be 1 mm. © 1990.
