Abstract
AbstractComposition relations for the copolymerization of vinyl monomers with divinyl monomers incapable of undergoing short‐range cyclization or alternating inter‐intramolecular propagation have been derived both for the general case, including crosslinking reactions, and for the approximate case where the concentration of pendant unsaturation may be assumed unaffected by crosslinking reactions. The general case composition equation has a complexity similar to that for the ternary polymerization of three vinyl monomers. The approximate case closely resembles the usual binary copolymerization relationship: where r1 = k11/k14, r2 = k44/k41, [M4] is the molar concentration of vinyl comonomer, but where [M1] is the molar concentration of divinyl monomer double bonds, i.e., twice the molar concentration of divinyl monomer.
