Modeling of Methyl Methacrylate Polymerization Using MATLAB

This paper presents a modeling of methyl methacrylate (MMA) polymerization with toluene in the presence of azo-bi’s-isobutyronitrile (AIBN) using MATLAB. This work aims to optimize the initial concentration of initiator and the reactor temperature to achieve a maximum monomer conversion in minimum b...

The optimization of solution polymerization of MMA based on the three-stage polymerization model (TSPM) was performed using ode23t solver.
