Watch part one of our free master class on kinetic models.

Free master class: part one of the series on kinetic models

In polymer manufacturing, advanced techniques with high automation and intelligence are essential to meet increasing energy, environmental and quality requirements. Semi-empirical techniques such as kinetic modelling play a crucial role in setting up and optimizing production processes without compromising product quality or increasing costs. Kinetic models have been considered a powerful method for understanding and predicting material behavior for over 50 years.

Take advantage of this opportunity to elevate your understanding of polymer materials. Join our expert scientists as they guide you through the intricate world of kinetic models. Delve into creating, interpreting, and applying these models derived from meticulously conducted laboratory experiments to the production floor.

This first part of the two-part master class series about kinetic models in polymer production is your gateway to harnessing the full potential of kinetic models, empowering you to make informed decisions and extract valuable insights from your polymer material applications.

You get to understand why kinetics models are so popular within the polymer industry and how exactly it is used in the polymer production process. You then gain valuable insights about their limitations; we unravel the mathematical intricacies behind fitting and inference and why kinetic models are not enough to control your production process and why you should explore other practical methods for your production optimization.
