Abstract
Abstract 14 C-labelled samples of diethyl-, ethyl n -hexyl- and di- n -hexyl fumarates have been used in studies at 60° of their radical copolymerizations with styrene and with vinyl acetate. Changing the diluent from benzene to dimethylformamide in some of the copolymerizations had no effect on the compositions of the copolymers. Monomer reactivity ratios have been calculated for most of the systems; comparisons have been made of the reactivities of the fumarate esters towards the polyvinyl acetate radical.
