Summary
-
1.
Copolymers of alkyl vinyl ethers with vinyl acetate were prepared.
-
2.
Increase in the number of carbon atoms in the alkoxy group of a vinyl ether is favorable to copolymerization.
-
3.
The complex radical formed with the participation of 2,2'-azobis [2-methylpropionitrile] considerably raises the reactivity of vinyl ethers in their copolymerization with vinyl acetate.
-
4.
Phenyl vinyl ether does not copolymerize with vinyl acetate in presence of benzoyl peroxide.
