Abstract
Some copolymers of [2-oxo-2-(4-methyl)phenyl amino]ethylene methacrylate (PEMA) with styrene (ST) have been prepared in the presence of benzoylperoxide (BPO) in 1,4-dioxane solvent at 65 °C. The copolymers have been characterized by Infrared, 1H and 13C NMR techniques. The percentages of PEMA and ST in the copolymers have been established by elemental analysis. The glass transition temperatures and thermal stability of copolymers were obtained and discussed. The monomer reactivity ratios of copolymerizations are calculated by using both Kelen–Tüdös and Fineman–Ross equations.
