✦ Synopsis
Alrstraet--~3C-NMR spectroscopy has been used for examination of 2-cyano-2-propyl end-groups in copolymers of styrene (STY) with methacrylonitrile (MAN) and with vinyl acetate (VAC) prepared at 10@' using as initiator 2-cyano-2-propylazoformamide enriched in its methyl groups with carbon-13. It is deduced that at 100 ° STY is twice as reactive as MAN. and 20 times as reactive as VAC towards the (CH3)2C(CN) radical. There is discussion of the relation between these results and those for the same systems at 60 c.

## Azobis(isobutyronitrile) and 2-cyano-2-propylazoformamide, both enriched with carbon-13, have been used to initiate copolymerizations of o<methoxystyrene (MOS) with methyl methacrylate. The copolymers have been examined by 13C-NMR so allowing study of the end-groups derived from the initiator.
Absolute rate constants for the addition of the 2-cyano-2-propyl radical to 26 alkenes CH2 = CXY at 315 K were determined in solution by time-resolved electron-spin-resonance spectroscopy. They vary with the alkene substituents from 30 M-' s-l to 7'010 M-' s-'. For styrene the temperature dependence
## Abstract Only a limited amount of work has been previously published concerning the free radical polymerisation of 4‐methoxystyrene and 4‐methylstyrene initiated by 2,2′‐azoisobutyronitrile (2,2′‐azobis(2‐methylpropiononitrile)) (AIBN). The present investigation was, therefore, undertaken to est
