Abstract
The free‐radical copolymerization of methyl acrylate with styrene initiated by triphenylstibonium 1,2,3,4‐tetraphenylcyclopentadienylide under nitrogen blanket at (60 ± 0.1)°C in 1,4,dioxane for 2 h has been carried out. The kinetic expression is R~p~ ∝ [I]^0.14^ [MA]^0.70^ [Sty]^0.75^. The system follows nonideal kinetics due to primary radical termination as well as degradative chain transfer reactions. The overall activation energy is 42 kJ mol^−1^. The reactivity ratios calculated from Kelen–Tüdos method for r~1~ (MA) and r~2~ (Sty) are 0.16 ± 0.01 and 0.028 ± 0.005 respectively. These values suggest the alternating nature of the copolymer. The ylide dissociated to form a phenyl radical, which brings about copolymerization of methyl acrylate with styrene. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 103: 1731–1736, 2007
