Abstract A complete dynamic model for predicting the conversion in emulsion polymerization is presented. The novelty of this work lies in the fact that it integrates the three main mechanisms of emulsion polymerization, viz., particle nucleation, coagulation and growth, with conversion calculation. Excellent agreement between predicted and experimental conversion data is obtained for vinyl acetate polymerization, thus validating the model. This model can therefore be used in designing strategies for batch process control. Copyright (C) 1998 IFAC.
