Reactions of unsaturated and macromolecular compounds Communication 5. Copolymerization of methyl acrylate with vinyl ethers

Abstract

1. The conditions required for the copolymerization of methyl acrylate with ethyl, butyl, and phenyl vinyl ethers have been studied. Copolymers of methyl acrylate with ethyl, butyl, and phenyl vinyl ethers have been prepared. 2. It has been shown that the composition of the copolymers obtained depends on the concentrations of vinyl ethers and methyl acrylate in the given reation mixtures. 3. Copolymers of methyl acrylate with vinyl ethers contain greater molar proportions of the latter than the copolymers of methyl methacrylate with the same vinyl ethers.
