β¦ Synopsis
A Fortran IV program for determining copolymerization reactivity ratios is proposed. The program is based on the curve-fitting method and has the advantage of delivering values free of personal judgement. To check its validity the system benzylacrylate (BeA)/methylmethacrylate (MMA) was investigated. The reactivity ratios obtained from the Fineman-Ross plots (r~ = 0"34 4-10 per cent and r2 = 1-7 Β± 10 per cent) are in good agreement with values obtained by using the proposed method (rx = 0-36 and r2 ~ 1"78). * Copies of the program are available on request.

## Abstract **Summary:** A new errorβinβvariables method was developed to estimate the reactivity ratios in copolymerization systems. It brings the power of automatic, continuous, onβline monitoring of polymerization (ACOMP) to copolymerization calculations. In ACOMP systems, monomer and polymer co
