Summary
The bulk copolymerization of ethyl methacrylate and butyl methacrylate with styrene, at 50 °C, in presence of ZnCl2 was investigated. The complexing agent determines the formation of copolymers with high alternating tendency, as proved by the composition of the copolymers and by the distribution of the diads.
