Summary Radical copolymerisation of MMA(r1) and NVC(r2) yields values of the apparent reactivity ratios r1 = 1.80, r2 = 0.06 (benzene) and r1 = 0.57, r2 = 0.75 (methanol) at 55°C. It is suggested that the apparent increase in reactivity of NVC in methanol arises from high local monomer concentrations due to formation of microphases containing the growing copolymer chains in which NVC is preferentially partitioned. Fluorescence emission and u.v. absorption spectra for copolymers prepared in both solvents are identical and consistent with the occurrence of only very short sequences of NVC units.
