Summary
The reactivity ratios of 3-vinyl thiophene in copolymerization with n-butyl acrylate and methyl methacrylate were determined by using a nonlinear least squares error-in-variables method coupled with an experimental design scheme. The values obtained were found to be significantly different than those previously reported.
