A priliminary study on the control of nano acrylamide polymerization reaction

Abstract

In this work, an attempt has been made to develop a control system for controlling the nano acrylamide polymerization reaction for mimicking the optical properties of soft tissues in ultraviolet spectrum. The nano acrylamide polymerization reaction process was modeled using an ARX model. Further, a proportional-Integral (PI) controller was designed to control the reaction. It is observed that the developed control scheme is suitable for control of the nano acrylamide polymerization reaction since the absorbance can be controlled to different levels in order to mimic various human soft tissues. This work appears to be clinically significant since the development of optical phantoms is highly useful for medical diagnostic applications.
