Nitrogen‐containing monomers. II. Reactivity ratios of n‐vinyloxazolidone and N‐vinylpyrrolidone with vinyl monomers

John F. Bork, Lester E. Coleman

Abstract

Abstract The reactivity ratios in the copolymerization of N‐vinyloxazolidone with styrene, methyl methacrylate, decyl methacrylate, vinyl acetate, and vinyl chloride have been determined and the Alfrey‐Price Q and e values calculated. Reactivity ratios in the copolymerization of N‐vinylpyrrolidone with styrene, methyl methacrylate, and vinyl acetate have also been determined and the Q and e values determined. N‐Vinyloxazolidone was found to be similar but less reactive than N‐vinylpyrrolidone as a comonomer; however, the properties of the resultant copolymers differed appreciably.
