Abstract:
Statistical approach to the modelling of butadiene-styrene copolymerization process has been considered in the paper. The algorithm, which is based on the Monte-Carlo method has been described. The mathematical model allows to carry out the calculation of copolymer’s molecular-weight distribution for different instants and predict copolymer's molecular characteristics depending on conversion.
Keywords:copolymerization, butadiene, styrene, molecular weight distribution, Monte Carlo method.
