Optimal strategies for the emulsion copolymerization of vinyl acetate and VeoVa 10 have been developed. These strategies are based on a hybrid mathematical model for the process that includes rigorous material and energy balances and empirical equations for uncertain terms. The strategies were implemented in a lab‐scale calorimetric reactor. © 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 78: 475–485, 2000
