Abstract

The regularities of radical copolymerization of methoxyoligo(ethylene glycol)methacrylate (MOEGM) with an ethoxylation degree of 11 and methoxyoligo(propylene glycol)methacrylate (MOPGM) with a propoxylation degree of 6 or 10 in toluene solutions were determined. The copolymers formed at low degrees of conversion are enriched with ethoxylated ether units in both pairs of monomers. The relative activities of the comonomers determined by the Fineman-Ross methods are in the range of 1.36–1.88 (MOEGM) and 0.56–0.92 (MOPGM). It has been established that the activity of MOPGM decreases with an increase in the length of the oligopropylene glycol chain.
