Abstract

13C n.m.r. spectra (75 MHz) of ethyl acrylate (A)-methyl methacrylate (M) copolymers prepared by free radical polymerization at 50°C, were analysed in terms of sequence distribution and stereoregularity of monomer units along the macromolecular chains. Ethyl acrylate and methyl methacrylate centred triad molar fractions were determined from the α-CH 3, quaternary carbon and carbonyl group, resonance signals. The experimental sequence concentrations were in fairly good agreement with the values calculated from the terminal copolymerization model and Bernoullian statistics, with the statistical parameters P ij determined from the reactivity ratios and the feed composition and the coisotacticity parameters σ MM = 0.24, σ AA = 0.31, σ MA = σ AM = σ∗ = 0.41 .
