Abstract A user‐friendly program has been developed to estimate copolymerization reactivity ratios based on a nonlinear minimization algorithm. The use of an optimal experimental design for copolymerization when the Mayo–Lewis model applies is presented. The applicability of the program is demonstrated using actual and simulated experimental data.
