Summary
-
1.
Conditions were found for the preparation of the previously undescribed copolymers of chloroprene with vinyl formate, vinyl acetate, vinyl propionate, and vinyl butyrate.
-
2.
The copolymerization constants r1 and r2 were determined for vinyl formate, vinyl acetate, vinyl propionate, and vinyl butyrate in reaction with chloroprene at 65° with the aid of the method of the “selected curve.”
-
3.
Relative activities with respect to the chloroprene radical were calculated for these vinyl esters.
-
4.
Integral and differential compositions were calculated for copolymers of chloroprene with vinyl for mate.
-
5.
Some of the properties of the copolymers were determined.
