Abstract

Binary copolymerizations have been investigated for more than 40 years. Relations between monomer feed and copolymer composition were developed in the early 1940s by Alfrey, Goldfinger, Mayo, Lewis and Wall. In comparison with the many thousands of binary systems described in the literature since then using the so-called copolymerization equation and by reactivity ratios, there are rather few investigations of the kinetics and the rates of binary free-radical copolymerizations. The copolymerization of ternary monomer systems has received even less attention until now; the number of publications describing ternary polymerizations is not much higher than a hundred. Most authors primarily discussed problems concerning the composition of terpolymers and there is little information about the rates of ternary copolymerizations.1
