✦ Synopsis

Abstract

Free radical copolymerizations of styrene and MMA were performed in toluene and DMF as solvents using different peroxide initiators with and without microwave irradiation. A general trend showed significant solvent dependence of monomer conversion rate only for copolymerizations initiated by tert‐butyl perbenzoate in DMF compared to toluene but nearly no impact for copolymerizations initiated by dicumyl peroxide and dibenzoyl peroxide. Significant variations in copolymer composition were not observed for reactions under conventional heating compared to microwave irradiation. It was concluded that enhanced initiator decomposition under microwave irradiation in DMF accelerate polymerization of styrene and MMA by formation of larger amount of initiator radicals.

## Abstract The microemulsion (M.E.) and conventional emulsion (C.E.) copolymerizations of styrene (STY) with methyl methacrylate (MMA) are carried out at 70°C by employing __n__‐pentanol (PA) and __n__‐octanol (OA), respectively, as cosurfactants along with sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS), as surfacta
