Abstract
Abstract Styrene has been copolymerized with vinylmethyldiacetoxysilane in bulk at temperatures between 60 and 100°, using benzoyl peroxide as initiator. The compositions of copolymers have been determined by the silicon estimation. The reactivity rafios have been calculated by the conventional scheme of copolymerization. Arrhenius parameters have been derived: the energies of activation favour self-propagation whereas the frequency factors favour cross-propagation.
