Popis: A modification of the model of Brooks for a non-steady-state continuous emulsion polymerization reaction has been examined to ascertain whether it permits the possibility of (a) periodic fluctuations in rate of polymerization in the vicinity of the steady state, and (b) sustained fluctuations in rate of polymerization in any physically-attainable condition. We conclude that neither of these possibilities is realizable in reaction systems which conform to the model which has been considered. Nor are sustained oscillations possible in reaction systems which conform to certain variants of the model.
