  Control of Polymerization Reactors

  Research Interests\n\nPolymer reaction engineering

  including the kinetics

  mathematical modeling

  reactor design and control of polymerization and post-polymerization processes. More specifically

  dispersed-phase polymerization

  including suspension

  microsuspension

  emulsion and miniemulsion polymerization. These systems provide kinetic and product benefits

  as well as the safety

  cost and environmental benefits of using water in place of organic solvents during polymerization. Recent work has been centered on miniemulsion polymerization

  including living polymerization in miniemulsion systems

  hybrid miniemulsion polymerization for paints and coatings

  biogels for biomedical applications

  and nanoencapsulation for inks and dyes

  and polymerization in chemical evolution.
