Abstract
The monomer reactivity ratios for styrene/2‐ethylhexylacrylate in bulk at 80°C were investigated by studying the resulting copolymer composition via ^1^H‐NMR. Composition results were summarized and various methods were employed to estimate the reactivity ratios including the use of the Error‐in‐Variables‐Model (EVM) approach by using the Mayo–Lewis model. The estimates of the reactivity ratios from the EVM method are found to be r~s~ = 0.979 and r~EHA~ = 0.292. The resulting copolymer has a tendency toward alternation with an azeotrope of f(styrene) = 0.972. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 92: 3368–3370, 2004

Copolymer compositions and reactivity ratios for the radical copolymerization of styrene with acrylonitrile have been determined by x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The results obtained by this technique were confirmed by elemental as well as 1 H-NMR (nuclear magnetic resonance) analysis. The
The impact of reactivity ratios determined with the Nelder and Mead simplex method on the kinetic-model discrimination and the solvent-effect determination for the styrene/acrylonitrile monomer system was investigated.
