Notes:
Copolymers of 2-hydroxyethyl acrylate, hydroxypropyl acrylate, and 2(1-aziridinyl)-ethyl methacrylate (M2) with styrene (M1) were prepared in benzene solution at 60°C. Benzoyl peroxide, 0.1-0.2 mole-%, was used as initiator. Copolymer samples with the molar concentrations of M2 feed ranging from 0.10 to 0.85 were used to determine the reactivity ratios. Elemental analysis and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR) were used to determine copolymer compositions. There was a solubility problem when the latter technique was applied. When samples which were completely soluble were analyzed, the results obtained from NMR and elemental analysis were in excellent agreement. The monomer reactivity ratios and the corresponding parameters for the copolymerization of (M1) with 2-hydroxyethyl acrylate are: r1 = 0.38 ± 0.02, r2 = 0.34 ± 0.03; Q2 = 0.85, e2 = 0.64; with hydroxypropyl acrylate are: r1 = 0.45 ± 0.03, r2 = 0.36 ± 0.03; Q2 = 0.75, e2 = 0.56; with 2(1-aziridinyl)ethyl methacrylate are: r1 = 0.53 ± 0.02, r2 = 0.63 ± 0.04; Q2 = 0.82, e2 = 0.25.
