6th International Workshop on Polymer Reaction Engineering

The volume represents the proceedings of the 6th International Workshop on "Polymer Reaction Engineering" held at the Technical University of Berlin, Germany, on October, 5-7, 1998. This workshop series is a well established international forum for chemists and chemical engineers from industry as well as from academia interested in any aspect of polymer reaction engineering. Particularly, this workshop offers a unique chance to discuss and learn about measurement, mixing, kintetics, scale-up, dynamics, safety, control, optimization, modelling and simulation of polymerization reactions and reactors. Emphasis is on control and quality assurance of polymer properties and reaction technology for multi-component high performance polymer systems as well.The present proceedings volume comprises more than fifty papers which were presented in the form of plenary lectures, short lectures or posters by numerous experts from all parts of the world. The contributions are covering a broad spectrum of polymer reaction engineering aspects as there are Olefins Polymerization incl. Gasphase Processes and the Application of New Catalysts, Reaction Injection Molding/Reactive Extrusion, Suspension Polymerization, Emulsion Polymerization, Bulk Polymerization as well as Special Reaction Engineering Aspects.
