Termination rate coefficients, k t , for the terpolymerization of mixtures containing the three acrylates: methyl, butyl, and dodecyl acrylate or the corresponding members of the methacrylate family: methyl, butyl, and dodecyl methacrylate, have been measured via the single pulse (SP)-PLP technique.

Abstract
The pulsedβlaser polymerization technique is used to determine the compositionβaveraged freeβradical propagation rate coefficient (k~p,ter~) for terpolymerization of butyl methacrylate, butyl acrylate, and styrene between 60 and 120βΒ°C. A significant deviation from terminal model predictions is observed for the ternary system, indicating that penultimate kinetics are important at these industrially relevant temperatures. The implicit penultimate propagation model, with all the coefficients taken from previous studies of the binary systems, provides a good prediction of the experimental k~p,ter~ results.

A systematic study of the terpolymerization of butyl acrylate/methyl methacrylate/vinyl acetate (BA/MMA/VAc) was conducted. In this stage of the study, batch emulsion terpolymerizations were performed in a 5 L stainless steel pilot plant reactor. The experiments were designed using a Bayesian (optim
## Abstract The propagation rate coefficient of the terpolymerization of styrene, methyl methacrylate and methyl acrylate in bulk was successfully determined at three different monomer compositions. The temperature was varied between 18 and 80Β°C. The resulting data at 50Β°C were not in agreement wit
