A Brief Survey of Methods of Calculating Monomer Reactivity Ratios

Abstract

Abstract Various published methods of calculating mocomer reactivity ratio sax surveyed in :he light of computer analysis of a large number of experimental data. One typical system, vinyl chloride-methyl acrylzte, is discussed in detail. Some of the earlier methods, such as the Fineaan-Ross method and the graphicai Mayo-Lewis solution, are considered obsolete. The most preferred method for kinetic interpretations of copolymerization data is indicated.
