Poster Award for Christoph Weigel

2025/06/05

Christoph Weigel was presented with the “Best Poster Award” at the 12th Polymer Reaction Engineering Conference (PRE XII) in Clearwater Beach (Florida, USA), which was granted by Wiley Macromolecular Reaction Engineering.

The poster “Zone-Specific Effects on LDPE Production in a High-Pressure Multizone Autoclave” by Christoph Weigel, Alina Weber, Nicola Schreiner and Markus Busch was decorated as one of two posters at the conference. The poster covers the selective control of the individual zones of a 300 ml high-pressure three-zone autoclave for polymer synthesis on a laboratory scale. By separating the zones, systematic changes in the molecular weight distribution could be demonstrated and the effect illustrated using deterministic modeling.
