Popis: International audience; Acrylonitrile and styrene radical copolymerization in a dispersed medium has been investigated. Experiments were carried out in a continuous stirred-tank reactor in the presence of a stabilizing agent elaborated in situ during polymerization. The continuous phase was a polyol. The numerous elementary chemical mechanisms concerning the copolymerization as well as synthesis and grafting of the stabilizing agent together with several physical phenomena clearly show the complexity of the process. Using justified assumptions and a simplified kinetic scheme, a tendency model of the process was developed, using mass balances and thermodynamics. Its unknown parameters were identified by use of an evolutionary algorithm and experimental data resulting from an adapted experimental strategy. This model was then validated and allowed to forecast, with an acceptable order of magnitude, the number and weight average molecular weights, monomers and transfer agent conversions, amounts of solids, copolymer composition, amounts of grafted copolymer, and average particle diameters versus the operating conditions.
