Computer calculations concerning copolymerization, terpolymerization, and the chemical reactions of copolymers and terpolymers

Computer programs we have developed during the course of studies on copolymerization, on terpolymerization, and on the chemical reactions of polymers are described. The programs are useful for (a) evaluating monomer reactivity ratios from either copolymerization or terpolymerization data, (b) for predicting the compositions of copolymers and terpolymers from monomer reactivity ratios and monomer feed composition data, (c) for calculating the extents of cyclization to be expected when inter‐sequence cyclizations occur in copolymers and terpolymers, and (d) for calculating the yields of products obtained when copolymers are degraded selectively.
