Abstract
Dilatometrically measured initial rate of radical copolymerization of maleic anhydride(A) with butyl vinyl ether(D) in CHCl3 at 50°C was maximum at the feed maleic anhydride mole fractions of 0.39, 0.36, and 0.32 when the total monomer concentration was 1.5 M, 1 M and 0.5 M, respectively. Both free monomers and the donoracceptor complex appeared to be operative to give an alternating copolymer. Georgiev's method gave α=kAD/kDA=0.14, βD=kDC/kDA=6.2, βA=kAC/kAD=0.50 and kAC/kDC=0.011.
