REACTIVITY OF FUNCTIONALLY-SUBSTITUTED ST YRENE DERIVATIVES IN COPOLYMERIZATION WITH STYRENE AND COPOLYMER MICROSTRUCTURE PARAMETERS

It was shown that reactivity of all the known substituted styrenes tow ard polystyrene radical in radical copolymerization with styrene is de termined by donor-acceptor action of substituents and described by sin gle Hammett constant correlation equation for substituents, i.e., by d ouble parameter correlation lg 1/r1 from sigmaBAR0 and sigmaBAR(R), wh ich in its turn is responsible for macromolecule chain microstructures and copolumer constitution. Appropriate correlations, copolymerizatio n constants-Hammett constants- and microstructure parameters of copoly mer chains were given.
