Abstract
This paper examines the copolymerzation of methyl acrylate (MA) and isobutylene (IB) with a complexed initiating system of AlEtCl2 and benzoyl peroxide (BPO). The effects of monomer ratio, monomer concentration, initiator composition and polymerization conditions on copolymer composition, degree of alternation, intrinsic viscosity and conversion were studied. An alternating copolymer was obtained when the [IB] / [MA] mole ratio was equal or greater than one.
