| Abstract: | The free‐radical copolymerization of 2‐hydroxyethyl methacrylate with t‐butyl acrylate was carried out at 50 °C in bulk and in 3 mol · L?1 1,4‐dioxane and N,N′‐dimethylformamide solutions. Differences between the apparent reactivity ratios determined in this work indicated a noticeable solvent effect. This is explained with a qualitative bootstrap effect. © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
