This research is in three areas:  (1) design and control of                     condensation polymerization processes, (2) kinetics of phase transfer           catalyzed free radical polymerization, and (3) computer-aided design,           analysis, and control of industrial polymerization processes.  Under            (1) above, the approach is to develop detailed mathematical models for          the multi-stage polymerization processes and to carry out extensive             experimentation to extract unknown kinetic parameters and to confirm            model predictions of reactor dynamics.  Under (2), the goal is to               elucidate the kinetics of phase transfer polymerization (PTC), above,           stochastic state estimation techniques and adaptive control schemes             will be applied to estimate unmeasured parameters such as degree of             conversion, copolymer composition, chain sequence length distribution,          etc.  Analysis of both steady state and dynamic behavior will be done           because many exothermic polymerization reactors exhibit peculiarities           such as steady state multiplicity, sustained oscillation, runaway, etc.
