Abstract
A new method based on the measurement of maximum conversion rate of th e least reactive monomer (N-vinylpyrrolidone; NVP) was used to determi ne the reactivity ratio of glycidyl methacrylate (MAG), that of NVP be ing considered to be zero. Despite a peculiar experimental difficulty due to the occurrence of NVP homopolymerization, the monomer reactivit y ratio of MAG was found to be between 2.87 and 4.05 (at a 95% probabi lity level), in good agreement with data from the literature.
