Fig. 3: Reactor design, chemistry, fluid flow diagram, and data for polymer tracer experiments.
From: General route to design polymer molecular weight distributions through flow chemistry
a Flow reactor configuration for the tracer experiments. b DBU catalyzed ROP of lactide with an octanol initiator. A UV detectable (266 nm) pyrene initiator will periodically be pulsed into the flow reactor as the tracer. c Depiction of laminar flow with Taylor dispersion. d Experimental data of tracer pulses for different flow rates in a single run.
