Abstract
Homogeneous copolymers of N-vinylpyrrolidone (VP) and vinyl acetate (VA) which form clear aqueous solutions were prepared by free radical polymerization in a solution of isopropanol alcohol, using 2,2-azobisisobutyronitrile as an initiator. They were characterized by FTIR, 1H-NMR, and element analysis studies. The reactivity ratios of the monomer were computed by the Extended Kelen–Tudos method at high conversions, using data from both 1H-NMR and elemental analysis studies. The reactivity ratios of VP and VA in a homogenous copolymer were observed to be very different from that of a heterogeneous copolymer. Additional information was obtained by finding out the sequence length distribution for copolymers.
