| Abstract: | The reactivity ratios of four butyl acrylates versus methyl methacrylate and tert-butyl methacrylate were determined for their radical copolymerization in 2-butanone solution using the Jaacks method. The reactivity ratios values obtained were positively verified by substituting into the Alfrey-Goldfinger equation, yielding correct copolymer composition for a series of samples obtained from different initial mole fractions of the comonomers. |
