Abstract
The copolymerization of N-2-chlorophenylmaleimide with vinyl acetate was investigated at different total monomer concentrations. The reactivity of the maleimide was enhanced greatly with an increase in total monomer concentration. The overall initial copolymerization rate for the above system in two different solvents was also measured as a function of total monomer concentration, which was varied between 0.5—2.0 mol l−1.
