Toward an Automated Convergence Tool for Kinetic Monte Carlo Simulation of Conversion, Distributions, and Their Averages in Non- dispersed Phase Linear Chain-Growth Polymerization

Alessandro D. Trigilio et al.

Summary: This study proposes a convergence strategy that avoids relying on subjective visual analysis to set the minimum control volume, thus guaranteeing the minimization of stochastic noise to acceptable values. The strategy was validated in two non-dispersed phase bulk chain-growth polymerization processes. An automated convergence check is recommended to minimize the impact of possible fluctuations in certain simulation targets.

Monte Carlo simulation of terpolymerization: Optimizing the simulation and post-processing times

Artur S. C. Rego et al.

Summary: Monte Carlo simulations provide a useful and simple approach to understand polymerization reactions. However, obtaining reliable results can be challenging due to computational time and data processing. This study analyzes a steady-state terpolymerization process using Monte Carlo simulations to reduce overall computational time and post-processing efforts. Different sorting algorithms and Python libraries were employed, and the Tim sorting algorithm and Numba library were found to be the most efficient for both simulation and post-processing steps.

Michael R. Martinez et al.

Summary: Polymer recycling is gaining increasing attention in the context of a circular economy. This study reports the depolymerization of poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) and poly(n-butyl methacrylate) (PBMA) through controlled radical polymerizations mediated by iron chloride salts and iron powder. The most effective depolymerization was achieved using zerovalent Fe0 as a supplemental activator and reducing agent.

Simulation of the thermal degradation kinetics of biobased/biodegradable and non-biodegradable polymers using the random chain-scission model. Capabilities and limitations

Mohammad Nahid Siddiqui et al.

Summary: In this study, the thermal degradation of polymers is simulated using the random chain-scission model. By combining experiments and mathematical models, kinetic parameters with physical meaning are obtained for comparing the thermal stability of different polymers. The research shows that the dominant degradation mechanism for several polymers in the range of 30% to 90% relative degree of degradation is random scission.
