Optimal temperature histories have been obtained for methylmethacrylate polymerization using a kinetic model incorporating gel and glass effects. The minimum end time problem has been studied, with end point constraints on monomer conversion and the number average chain length, μ n . The optimization algorithm used is efficient and easy to use. It is found that the optimal temperature histories obtained when the desired chain length lies beyond the maxima in the μ n vs. time plot differ qualitatively and significantly from those obtained when the desired μ n lies before the maxima.
