Summary

High molecular weight methyl methacrylate (M1) — styrene (M2) copolymers were obtained by plasma-induced bulk copolymerization. The reactivity ratios, determined by Kelen — Tüdös method, were shown to be r1=0.41±0.01 r2=0.57±0.01 and the coisotactic alternating addition probability G=0.48±0.02. These data indicate a radical mechanism of copolymerization.
