8th International Workshop on Polymer Reaction Engineering (Dechema Monographs)

By representing the proceedings of the "8th International Workshop on Polymer Reaction Engineering" held at the University of Hamburg, October 3-6, 2004, this volume covers new results, applications and actual trends in the development of polymerization reactions, reactors and processes.

The latest event of this well established international workshop series highlights especially promising areas such as polymer thermodynamics, polymerization kinetics, mixing and scale-up, reactor safety, process intesification an reaction technology for multi-component high performance polymer systems.

Additionally, unsolved fundamental reaction engineering problems in the polymer industries and new options of academic research are identified and discussed.
