## Abstract A mathematical model is presented that simulates the polymerization of styrene in the presence of polybutadiene (PB) for producing high‐impact polystyrene (HIPS) __via__ the heterogeneous bulk process. The model follows the polymerization in two phases; and calculates in each phase the

## Abstract The bulk prepolymerization of styrene in the presence of polybutadiene for the production of high‐impact polystyrene is analyzed and compared with an equivalent solution reaction described by Estenoz et al. in 1999. The heterogeneous model reported by Casis et al. in 2006 is extended to
The effects of three different variables (initiator concentration, polarity of the solvent and reaction temperature) on the rate of dispersion polymerization of styrene in alcohols have been investigated. It was found that the rate of polymerization increases with the initiator (AIBN) concentration
