Abstract : An accurate prediction of the formation of polymer particles is vital for synthesis of high quality materials, but still not feasible due to its complexity. We present a Population Balance Equations model as a tool targeting the task. Aimed to enhance model performance, we derive a quantitative criterion for locating regions of “slow” aggregation among particles. Within such a regime, the aggregation terms can be neglected and computational efficiency improves by several orders of magnitude.
