Abstract: A generalized rate model for free radical copolymerization was proposed.It can be applied
not only to the system with the participation ofcharge-transfer complex (CTC), but also to
the system without theparticipation of CTC. The effects of equilibrium constant, total
monomerconcentration, homo-propagation parameters and reactivity ratios on freemonomer,
CTC, overall rates, and the contribution of CTC were consideredin the simulation. North
equation of copolymerization rate as a specialcase can be derived from the generalized
model.

Key words: copolymerization rate, model, simulation
