Abstract
The copolymerization of dimethyl itaconate and methyl methacrylate wit h 2,2'-azobisisobutyronitrile was investigated kinetically at 50 degre es C in benzene. The copolymer composition conforms to the terminal mo del within experimental error, but the variation of the copolymerizati on rate shows a penultimate effect on the propagation reaction. Homopo lymerization kinetic coefficients for dimethyl itaconate monomer were also determined.
