Abstract
Low conversion copolymerizations of N-acryloylpiperidine (NAPi) (monomer- 1) were conducted with each of the co-monomers, acrylic acid (AA), methyl methacrylate (MMA) and styrene (ST) in benzene at 60°C using AIBN as initiator. The copolymer compositions were determined by elemental analyses. The monomer reactivity ratios were calculated by the Fineman-Ross, the Kelen-Tudos and the Mayo-Lewis graphical procedures. The derived reactivity ratios (r 1 , r 2 ) are (0.535, 0.81), (0.223, 1.293) and (0.247, 1.51) for NAPi/AA, NAPi/MMA and NAPi/ST systems respectively. Relative reactivities of various monomers in cross-propagation reactions involving NAPi-terminated polymer radicals were compared and discussed.
