Mathematical modeling of the reaction system of dicyclopentadiene polymerization

Based on the mathematical model of dicyclopentadiene polymerization the authors have proposed the mathematical model of the polymerization reactor. The reactor for producing polydicyclopentadiene was designed. It is operated in adiabatic and isothermal temperature conditions. The maximum permissible monomer concentration in toluene solution was determined. It was shown that the polymerization products in different reactors have the same molecular mass and different molecular weight distribution.
