Free‐radical copolymerizations were studied under nonisothermal conditions with emphasis on their thermal runaway and ignition behavior. Computational models are presented in generalized form and compared with experiments on the system styrene‐acrylonitrile. A new, useful method is proposed for the evaluation of runaway parameters from scant kinetic data.
