## Abstract The photoinitiated copolymerization of vinyl pivalate (VPi) and vinyl acetate (VAc) was carried out in bulk. Varying monomer feed ratios of VPi/VAc (mol %/mol %) of 100/0, 90/10, 60/40, 50/50, and 30/70 were used. Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) with sβdiad contents ranging from 61.8% to 55.7%
Films of poly(vlnyl alcohol) carrying pendant styrylpyridinium groups exhibit fluorescence typical of the excimer of the pendant group. Irradiation of the films leads to elimination of the excimer emission band. Following the photoreaction by IR diffuse reflectance spectroscopy shows that there are
