On the basis of the propagation elementary reactions for copolymerization w
ith the participation of charge-transfer complex (CTC), a measuring method
of reactivity ratios was presented. Four reactivity ratios, the relative re
activity of free monomer and charge-transfer complex could be obtained. The
y were r(12) = 0. 03370, r(21) = 0. 011 57, r(1c) = 0. 002 972, r(2c) = 0.
003 379, and k(1c)/k(12) = 1 1. 337 5, k(c2)/k(21) = 3. 423 8 for styrene/N
-phenylmaleimide copolymerization. The result was compared with that measur
ed by Mayo-Lewis model.
