## Abstract Maleic anhydride or 2,3‐dimethylmaleic anhydride was copolymerized with a number of alkyl vinyl ethers, with AIBN as the initiator. The comonomers were always alternating and were obtained in yields ranging from 15 to 99%. The acid anhydride group in both series of copolymers was conver

✦ Synopsis
The dissolution properties of several alkyl vinyl ethermaleic anhydride copolymers and their ethyl, rr-propyl, and 17- butyl half-and quarterester derivatives were studied. An immersion refractometric method was employed to determine the polymer dissolution properties. Rates of polymer dissolution and lag times prior to the initiation of measurable dissolution rates were shown to be dependent upon several variables. The polymer variables studied included polymer molecular weight, degree of esterification, ester chain length, and ether substituent. Other factors studied were pH of the dissolution medium, type of sample (cast films or compressed disks), and inclusion of a plasticizing agent. Each factor was shown to influence the resulting polymer dissolution properties.
