Ya. Fedotov et al., MATHEMATICAL-MODELING OF THE SYNTHESIS OF WATER-SOLUBLE SULFONATE-CONTAINING AROMATIC POLYAMIDES, Vysokomolekularnye soedinenia. Seria A, 37(11), 1995, pp. 1929-1931
A mathematical model was developed that describes a heterogeneous poly
condensation process, in which the reaction occurs on the surface of s
olid particles. An extended diffusion-kinetic domain of polycondensati
on conditions was considered, and a system of differential equations d
escribing the process was numerically solved on a computer. It is show
n that a maximum level of polyamide polycondensation is attained in th
e kinetic region. The rate constants of the main and side reactions ar
e estimated.
