Mathematical Modelling for Polymer Processing : Polymerization, Crystallization, Manufacturing /

The polymer industry raises a large number of relevant mathematical problems with respect to the quality of manufactured polymer parts. These include in particular questions about: - the production of the polymeric material from a monomer (based on the Ziegler-Natta catalytic process) - the crystall...
