A method for optimization of monomer feed composition to obtain the most accurate reactivity ratios has been described by Tidwell and Mortimer. The proposed method is more generally applicable than for use with the Mayo-Lewis model and copolymer composition vs monomer feed composition data. By means

## Abstract The terminal and penultimate model reactivity ratios in the free‐radical copolymerization of styrene and methyl methacrylate in bulk at 40°C were calculated by means of the simplex and scanning methods. Calculations showed that for the terminal model __r__~1~ and __r__~2~ vary in compar
## Abstract A newly developed method for the determination of the radical reactivity ratios is presented. Two main equations are used and the parameters can be calculated from the ordinate and the slope of the linearization plots. Both equations yield identical values when applied to synthetic data
The impact of reactivity ratios determined with the Nelder and Mead simplex method on the kinetic-model discrimination and the solvent-effect determination for the styrene/acrylonitrile monomer system was investigated. For the monomer system, the penultimate unit effect was inversely proportional to
## Abstract The reliable estimation of monomer reactivity ratios is a key problem in the development of process models, and, thus, is an important issue in both process design and control. Copolymers of isobutyl methacrylate (i‐BMA), and lauryl methacrylate (LMA) were prepared by free radical bulk
