✦ Synopsis

Abstraet--A study was made of the effects of five solvents on the compositions of copolymers of xinyl acetate (VA) and methyl methacrylate (MMA) produced by flee radical polymerization from feeds rich in VA. The MMA content was reduced significantly by propanol, unaffected by benzene and ethyl acetate and increased by acetonitrile and acetone. The effects observed for propanol, acetonitrile and acetone all reached a maximum at a solvent to monomer molar ratio of about 7: 1. Experiments showed that neither monomer physical aggregation nor monomer carbonyl polarization phenomena could explain completely the observed effects. A complete explanation probably requires several factors including some associated with polymer radical reactivity.

An adaptive calorimetric method, coupled with state estimators for emulsion copolymerization, is shown to provide accurate, on-line information on the evolution of the composition and kinetics of an emulsion copolymerization. This method was evaluated for the emulsion copolymerization of methyl meth

## 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 initiat
