The copolymerization characteristics of ethyl α‐acetoxyacrylate

Cornelius C. Unruh, Thomas M. Laakso

Abstract

Abstract The copolymerization characteristics of ethyl α‐acetoxyacrylate with four different monomers have been investigated, and the reactivity ratios r1 and r2 determined in the case of each comonomer pair. The monomers used were styrene, methyl methacrylate, vinyl acetate, and ethyl acrylate. From these data were calculated the Q and e values for ethyl α‐acetoxyacrylate. It is apparent that this monomer resembles ethyl acrylate very closely in its copolymerization characteristics.
