“…It is a non-destructive, low-cost, non-pollutant, and easy-to-use technique. Calibration models can be constructed to monitor properties with fast dynamics, e.g., hydrolysis of acetic anhydride, to avoid destructive and time-consuming analytical methods, such as titration, to estimate residual double bonds and epoxy value and polymer molecular weight, , and to monitor microreactors (where the size of samples can be a concern). Besides that, the correlation between conversion and particle size in stabilizer-free dispersion polymerization is also a challenge.…”
