Notes:
Research was carried out on copolymerization of isoprene with maleic acid monoesters in the presence of free radicals (AIBN). The aim of the study was to observe the effect of the different monoesters obtained with normal alcohols of the aliphatic series: monoethyl maleate, monopropyl maleate, monobutyl maleate, monoheptyl maleate, monolauryl maleate, and monocetyl maleate. On the basis of reactivity ratios determined by the Fineman-Ross method and compared with the Mayo-Lewis method, all the systems studied are typical cases of heterocopolymerization. The parameter r1 is constant for this homologous series with the exception of the low terms. The experimental results agree with the ultimate model equation (with deviation at very high values of [M10]/[M20]), but not with the copolymer composition equation which considers the effect of the penultimate unity (penultimate model). Characterization of the sequential distribution is also presented (considering the effect of the terminal group only), and deviations of the experimental results are also discussed.
