Abstract
The Flory-Wall expressions for the fraction of substituents remaining on a vinyl copolymer, when substituents are removed at random from adj acent 1,3 positions, are extended to the case of nonrandom copolymeriz ation. A copolymer composition equation is derived for the case in whi ch the type of monomer preceding the active free-radical chain end aff ects the propagation reaction. The distribution of lengths of sequence s in copolymers is discussed.
