Abstract
yTwo dialkyl fumarate monomers were copolymerized with styrene and methyl m ethacrylate. The reactivity ratios of the monomers were calculated, and the glass transition temperature-composition diagrams for the copolymers were measured. The experimental T-g data of the copolymers were fitted to severa l empirical equations proposed in the literature. A comparison is made betw een the copolymers and the blends of the corresponding polymers. (C) 1999 J ohn Wiley & Sons, Inc.
