Abstract

The aim of the present work is to show that spectroscopic and ultrasonic methods are powerful in situ methods for monitoring polymerization processes and for the determination of the composition of polymer blends and additives during extrusion. Quantitative analysis carried out with chemometric methods can determine the composition of multicomponent polymer mixtures and predict real world samples in real-time during extrusion. Examples are the modification of hyperbranched poly(urea-urethane)s, the polymerization of MMA, the real-time determination of flame retardants in PA, and the determination of the composition of the blend PE/PS.
