| Abstract: | Alternating copolymers of vinyl acetate (VAc) and maleic anhydride (MA) are produced preferentially when VAc and MA are copolymerized at moderate temperatures while random copolymers are produced at temperatures above 90°C. A charge-transfer complex (CTC) of VAc/MA exists at moderate temperatures but does not exist at temperatures above 90°C. |
