| Abstract: | The free‐radical copolymerization of styrene with butyl acrylate was carried out in benzene and benzonitrile at 50°C. Differences between the apparent reactivity ratios determined in this work and those previously reported in bulk indicated noticeable solvent effects. This is explained by a qualitative bootstrap effect. © 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J Polym Sci A: Polym Chem 38: 60–67, 2000 |
