The objectives of this study were to develop the a simulation research on bulk polymerisation of styrene using 2,2’ azobisisobutyronitrile catalyst (AIBN) catalyst in batch reactor by using ODE solver within MATLAB software and to determine the initial amount of initiator and batch time to yield desired values of monomer conversion (m) and the number average molecular weight (Xn) at fixed temperature 373K.

The initial amount of initiator achieved in this study was lower compared to that obtained by Ekpo (2006) but the batch time achieved in this study varied with that obtained by Ekpo (2006).

As a conclusion, the use of ODE solver within MATLAB software in simulating the dynamic problem of bulk polymerisation of styrene was successful. The initial amount of initiator and batch time was able to be determined and the results achieved were able to compete with the results obtained by Wan Ibrahim (2011) and Ekpo (2006).
