The method of computer experiments can be successfully applied Co radi
cal polymerization with the inclusion of initiation, propagation and t
ermination. The convenient PC-program 'TA-kin' for non-linear estimati
on of the parameters of calorimetric and thermoanalytical experiments
was applied for determination of the activation parameters of chain pr
opagation and termination. The overall evaluation of three or more dat
a sets was preferred. The determination of the kinetic parameters proc
eeds satisfactorily of the measured curves are strongly different, e.g
. with a changed start temperature of modified application of batch an
d semi-batch technique, including acceptable experimental errors. Eigh
t recommendations for laboratory experts are given.
