Kinetic deviations with the conversion observed in free-radical-initiated [acrylonitrile (A)-styrene (S)] copolymerization carried out in DMF solution have been interpreted in terms of preferential solvation of the polymer by one of the monomers or the solvent. First it is well established that the initial styrene content of the PAS copolymer increases if a slight amount of polymer is introduced before the beginning of polymerization. Next the preferential solvation has been studied and characterized in various solvents (toluene or DMF) from the results of differential refractometry at dialysis equilibrium of the ternary solution (solvent-monomer-polymer) versus its solvent mixture. It was found that the most polar monomer, acrylonitrile, is already adsorbed by the polymer, mostly in copolymerizations carried out in DMF, from initially rich acrylonitrile mixtures. It is suggested that this phenomenon implies a heterogeneous repartition of the monomer mixture in the solution, which may affect the kinetic copolymerization when the conversion increases.
