Summary

Free radical Copolymerization of ω (α -methylstyryl) poly (2-vinylpyridine) macromonomers with styrene was performed. After separation of residual macromonomer the graft copolymers were submitted to a careful characterization.

The copolymers were generally of rather low molecular weight and the average number of grafts per backbone chain was found close to unity. Nevertheless, these polymeric species tend to give aggregates and/or emulsions in selective solvents of the grafts, a typical behaviour of graft copolymers.
