A mathematical simulation of the concurrent processes 
of heat exchange and chemical transformation in the synthesis of a 
diene rubber based on a neodymium-containing catalytic system (CDNR) 
in a cascade of continuous reactors has been carried out. A model 
is proposed for investigating the branching of the CDNR. The problem 
of optimization of the polymerization of a butadiene rubber based 
on a neodymium-containing catalyst was solved for the case of an increasing 
number of reactors in a cascade.
