Copolymerization Reactivity Ratio Calculator
Content Developed by Dr Simon Harrisson
This set of codes can be used to evaluate reactivity ratios in copolymerization using input conversion data for both monomers. This assumes a terminal reactivity model and is based on the Mayo Lewis approach to copolymerization. This spreadsheet is relatively robust in its estimates of reactivity ratios, and also reports a confidence interval, using more commonly encountered polymer conversion data.
