Abstract
The copolymerization of styrene with Nβphenyl maleimide in the presence of organomodified montmorillonite or Na^+^ montmorillonite was investigated. The conversion of the monomer was determined dilatometrically or gravimetrically. The copolymerization rate was accelerated and the polymerization activation energy in bulk and solution copolymerization decreased in the presence of montmorillonite. The tendency of alterβcopolymerization was enhanced for bulk and solution polymerization, but not affected for emulsion polymerization, by the addition of organomodified montmorillonite or Na^+^ montmorillonite. Xβray diffraction studies showed that the methods of emulsion and bulk intercalative polymerization were more appropriate techniques for preparing nanocomposites with good dispersibility of clay.

## Abstract Atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) was employed to prepare graft copolymers having poly(MBr)β__alt__βpoly(St) copolymer as backbone and poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) as branches to obtain heat resistant graft copolymers. The macroinitiator was prepared by copolymerization of
The copolymerization and addition reaction of styrene (S) with N-phenylmaleimide (PMI), either neat or in xylene, have been found to proceed at 125Β°C in the presence of 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidin-1-yloxy (TEMPO) radicals. TEMPO-terminated alternating S-PMI copolymers and comonomer adducts were obt
