Modelling and determination of kinetic parameters for the free radical homopolymerization of ?-Pinene
The process of homopolymerization of ?-Pinene was studied. The main goal was to determine the kinetic data of the polymerization reaction utilizing the Method of Moments to model it as a free radical polymerization (FRP) process using AIBN as initiator.

| Summary: | The process of homopolymerization of ?-Pinene was studied. The main goal was to determine the kinetic data of the polymerization reaction utilizing the Method of Moments to model it as a free radical polymerization (FRP) process using AIBN as initiator. Experimental data obtained by another study was used to validate the model proposed by this research. As to replicate the same conditions of the laboratory experiment, this model reproduces conversion data as a function of time elapsed for the homopolymerization reaction of ?-Pinene at 60 ºC and 2% in weight of initiator. The kinetic constants obtained produce conversion values that vary from the experimental data up to a max of 5% for the first 10 h. |
