✦ Synopsis
Poly(ethyl a-benzoyloxymethylacrylate) (EBMA) and copolymers of methyl methacrylate (MMA) with EBMA have been prepared by free radical polymerization. Monomer precursors of ethyl a-benzoyloxymethylacrylate have likewise been polymerized. Glass transition temperatures (T g ) of homo and copolymers have been determined by differential scanning calorimetry. The Johnston equation, which considers the in¯uence of monomeric unit distribution on the copolymer glass transition temperature, has been used to explain the T g behaviour. T g12 has been calculated by the application of the Johnston equation, which gave a value markedly lower than the average value expected from the additive contribution of the T g of the corresponding homopolymers.

## Abstract Poly(methyl methacrylate‐__ran__‐styrene) copolymers were synthesized under monomer‐starved conditions by emulsion copolymerization. The glass‐transition temperatures (__T__~__g__~'s) of the copolymers were measured by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and torsional braid analysis
Two dialkyl fumarate monomers were copolymerized with styrene and methyl methacrylate. The reactivity ratios of the monomers were calculated, and the glass transition temperature-composition diagrams for the copolymers were measured. The experimental T g data of the copolymers were fitted to several
