Abstract
The mechanism of the alternating radical polymerization of vinylbutyl ether with maleic anhydride in solutions of markedly differing polarity is studied kinetically. It is established that in spite of the significant decrease in concentration of the donor-acceptor complex as a function of the solvent used, the formation of an alternating copolymer takes place because of addition of a complex of monomers to a macro-radical, both in chloroform and in acetonitrile. It is shown that the chain growth mechanism and the monomer reactivity are determined by the nature of the donor-acceptor monomer interaction.
