Copolymerizations of methyl methacrylate with the Li, Na and K salts of methacrylic acid have been studied in methanol solution at 60 ° . Reactivity ratios have been calculated by the methods due to Mayo and Lewis, Fineman and Ross and Peckham. The rate of copolymerization decreases as the size of t

✦ Synopsis
Unusual assignments have been observed for the 1H-NMR of alkoxy groups in syndiotactic methyl methacrylate-methacrylic acid (MMA-MAA) copolymers and methyl methacrylate-diphenylmethyl methacrylate (MMA-DPMMA) copolymers. Thereby, the alkoxy groups --OCH3 and --OCH < show a degenerate pentad assignment, in as much as the two monomer units nearest to the central monomer unit exert no differentiating influence on chemical shift, in contrast to the two next-tonearest monomer units, By the use of copolymers possessing a tendency toward alternation with respect to compositional statistics, it is possible to distinguish between a degenerate pentad and a normal triad assignment. The reason for the degenerate pentad assignment is seen in specific conformations of the pentads, leading to the elimination of the differentiating influence on chemical shift for the two monomer units nearest to the central unit.

The influence of methacrylic acid (A) dimerization in toluene on its copolymerization with methyl meth.acrylate (B) was studied. It was established that as a result of this influence the dependence of the conAgurationa1 triad mole fraction on the monomer feed is non-linear, r, = 1.05 k 0.03, rs = 0.
Dilute solutions of methyl methacrylate-methacrylic acid copolymers (with low content o f methacrylic acid) in ethylene dichloride exhibit the effect of antithixotropy which manifests itself in the time dependence on the shear stress (in rotatory viscometers) and in the upturn on the shear stress de
