Abstract :
This paper successfully carries forward modelling and parameter estimation efforts regarding free radical bulk homopolymerizations of Methyl Methacrylate and Styrene. The experimental data successfully predicted is that of Balke and also lto for MMA and Braks for styrene. The model used here is the classical model augmented by the authors´ specific choice of environment dependent rate functions for which some justification is provided.
