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...
