A Modelling and Simulation Software for Polymerization with Microscopic Resolution

In the domain of process systems engineering, developing software embedded with advanced computational methods is in great demand to enhance the kinetic comprehension and facilitate industrial applications. Polymer production, characterized by complex reaction mechanisms, represents a particularly intricate process industry. In this work, a scientific software is developed for polymerization modelling and simulation with insight on microscopic resolution. From a software architecture perspective, the software is built on a self-developed process modelling platform that allows flexible user customization. A specific design for polymer species with microscopic chain structure information is conducted. From an algorithm perspective, the software offers high-performance solution strategies for polymerization process modelling by utilizing advanced computation approaches. A Ziegler-Natta copolymerization is presented to demonstrate the software�s capability in capturing the microscopic structural information of polymers.
