Since NMR spectroscopy has been available, allowing determination of the triad distribution in copolymer^,'-^ it has been possible to study the kinetics of reactions on polymers. The first attempt to evaluate relative rate constants was the curve fitting procedure of Klesper, Gronski, and Barth.4 The triad distribution of the different copolymers is calculated by simulation of the reaction on a computer, with selected rate constants. Then the results are compared with the experimental data.This method was improved by Klesper, Strasilla, and Barth? who found a procedure for calculating the relative rate constants graphically. Another graphical method was proposed by Harwood et al. using a triangular table.6Computer programs were devised by Bauer7 to calculate the triad distribution from the relative rate constants (SEQDIST), and the inverse problem (RATEFIND), with triad data of a single copolymer. But the relative rate constants are very uncertain as the result of amplification of experimental error in the triad data.s More accurate values can be obtained using triad data from a series of copolymers taken during the reaction. An improvemat of Klesper's graphical method5 is proposed here which allows the calculation of the relative rate constants by linear regression.We consider a chain of polymer composed of reactive groups A which after reaction become B units.
