Different unconventional continuous polymerization reactor concepts with superimposed secondary flow are presented. Exemplary polymerization reactions and the residence time distributions are discussed. In the case of the Taylor reactor polymerization process intensification is demonstrated by examples of emulsion and micro‐emulsion polymerization which actually results in an increase in space time yield of up to a factor of 50.
