Summary
-
1.
Vinyl ethers do not augment the polymerization chain by means of addition to their own radicals during copolymerization, but are able to polymerize alone by the radical mechanism.
-
2.
An equation was developed for the relationship between the starting concentration of vinyl ether in the reaction medium and the number of vinyl ether units in the copolymer.
-
3.
The relative rate constant for addition to “foreign“ radicals during copolymerization of methylacrylate and vinylethyl ether was calculated.
-
4.
The differential and integral copolymer composition equations are inapplicable for calculating the relative activities of vinyl ether radicals during copolymerization with the methyl ester of acrylic or methacrylic acid.
