| Abstract: | Vinyl cinnamate (C) was synthesized and copolymerized with vinyl acetate (A) in benzene at 60° using benzoyl peroxide as initiator. Monomer distributions in the resulting copolymers were determined by the infrared spectral technique. A calibration curve was obtained for this purpose. Reactivity ratios as calculated by Kelen and Tüdös method were found to be rC= 1.401 ± 0.210, rA. = 0.043 ± 0.006. |
