Computer calculations of binary and ternary copolymerization behavior

Richard K. S. Chan, Victor E. Meyer

Open publisher page 20 citations

Abstract

Abstract Computer programs in use in our laboratory for the calculation of binary and ternary copolymerization behavior are reviewed. In the case of binary copolymerization an analytical equation is available, allowing rapid and precise calculations of various parameters of interest. In the case of ternary and higher component systems numerical methods of integration are required. The application of the Runge‐Kutta method to ternary copolymerization systems is outlined. Examples and some of the difficulties encountered with both systems are presented.
