%X Two Control strategies are developed to control 
the molecular weight in emulsion polymerization by 
manipulating flow-rates of water stream of jacket in first 
case study and the power of heater in another study. The 
control strategies were validated with experimental data of 
emulsion polymerization using Methyl methacrylate as 
monomer. PID controller is used to control the 
temperature of the reactor in both the case studies.
