Resumen:
Summary: A new lumping-based approach for calculating the molecular weight distribution (MWD) in polymerization systems is proposed. In order to illustrate its applicability the proposed methodology is used for modelling the kinetics of a 1,3-diene polymerization using a binary neodymium-based catalytic system. The model is capable of reproducing experimental data after fitting for the evolution of molecular weight and polydispersity. The results of this preliminary simulation are used as a guide to design kinetics experiments that may lead to improve the kinetic model and to deepen the knowledge of the system under study. © 2013 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
