Abstract
The copolymerisation of styrene and vinyl imidazole was studied online using a unique Raman cell. The copolymerisation parameters, r(1) and r(2), were obtained and compared with values obtained from NMR and ele mental analysis. The problems associated with the technique and the da ta processing are discussed. Although there was poor correlation betwe en techniques it was concluded that Raman has great potential as a muc h faster method therefore enabling much more data to be collected and giving information on the progress of copolymerisation reactions.
