Radical copolymerization behavior of 4'-vinylbenzo-15-crown-5, a vinyl monomer having a pendant 15-membared crown ether unit (VCE) with di(ethylene glycol) ethyl ether acrylate (DEGEEA) was carried out in toluene solution using 2,2-azobisisobutyronitrile (AIBN) as an initiator. The copolymers were characterized by means of FT-IR, $^1{H-NMR}$, and $^{13}{C-NMR}$ . The reactivity ratio of VCE and DEGEEA, determined by Fineman-Ross and Kelen-Tudos method, gave values 0.55 for VCE, and 0.11 for DEGEEA respectively.

A new methacrylate copolymer that includes chalcone as a side group, poly(4-methacryloyloxyphenyl-4'-methoxystyryl ketone-co-styrene) was synthesized by free radical copolymerization. FTIR and $^1H$ NMR spectroscopic techniques were used to characterize the homopolymers and copolymers. The copolymerizations were carried out to high conversions. Copolymer compositions were established by $^1H$ NMR spectra analysis. The monomer reactivity ratios for copolymer system were determined by the linearized Kelen $T{\ddot{u}}d{\ddot{o}}s$, and Extended Kelen $T{\ddot{u}}d{\ddot{o}}s$ methods and a non-linear least squares method. The molecular weights and polydispersity index of copolymers were measured by using the gel permeation chromatography (GPC). The effect of copolymer compositions on their thermal behavior were studied by differential scanning calorimetry and thermogravimetric analysis methods. The optical properties of the resulting copolymer were also investigated.

Radical copolymerization of N-isopropylacrylamide (NIPAAM) with methyl methacrylate (MMA) was carried out in 1,4-dioxane using 2,2'-azobisisobutyronitrile (AIBN). To investigate the reactivity ratios of NIPAAM and MMA at different reaction temperatures, the copolymerization was allowed to proceed to low conversion (less than 10 wt%), and the reaction temperatures were 50, 60, and 7$0^{\circ}C$. The monomer reactivity ratios of NIPAAM and MMA were estimated by the graphical methods according to the Finemann-Ross equation. The ${\gamma}$$_1$ and ${\gamma}$$_2$ values for NIPAAM-MMA were 0.259 and 2.782 at 5$0^{\circ}C$, 0.271 and 2.819 at 6$0^{\circ}C$, and 0.286 and 2.915 at 7$0^{\circ}C$, respectively. As the reaction temperature increased, the ${\gamma}$$_1$ and ${\gamma}$$_2$ values increased. The activation energy difference was estimated by comparing the reactivity ratios at different reaction temperatures.

In order to determine the monomer reactivity ratio in copolymerization of acrolein, the copolymerization of acrolein with styrene, methyl methacrylate and vinyl acetate respectively was studied. The Q and e value of acrolein in each copolymerization were also calculated from those of monomer reactivity ratios, but the calculated values were slightly different from each other. The Q and e of acrolein for the system of acrolein-styrene copolymerization were Q = O.64 and e = O.62 respectively. Relations among the Q and e value, the composition and structure of copolymers and the mean sequence length in copolymerization were also discussed for acrolein copolymers.

The free radical bulk copolymerizations of perfluoroalkylethyl acrylate(FA) containing perfluoro group ($CF_3(CF_2)_nCH_2CH_2$-; n=5, 7, 9, 11) with styrene were conducted at $60^{\circ}C$ using AIBN as an initiator. Reactivity ratios($r_1$, $r_2$) were determined from monomer feed compositions and the NMR spectroscopically measured copolymer compositions using Kelen-Tudos method. The structures of copolymers were characterized with FT-IR and $^1H-NMR$ analysis. Their thermal properties investigated with DSC and TGA were decreased with increasing the content of fluorinated acrylate in the copolymer. Their surface free energies were calculated with measuring contact angles of the copolymers and PMMA blends with a small amount of them.

The copolymerization of N-acryloylpyrrolidone and acrylonitrile was performed in N,N'-dimethylformamide at 50$^{\circ}$C and monomer reactivity ratio was obtained by using IR working curve and Fineman and Ross equation. ($r_1$ = 0.43, $r_2$ = 1.56) It is found that resulting copolymer is good polymeric initiator for anionic graft copolymerization of 2-pyrrolidone. Graft copolymers with polybutylamide (nylon-4) grafts onto poly(NAP-Co-AN) backbone were synthesized and the various effects on the graft copolymerization of 2-pyrrolidone were examined. The rate constants ($K_p$) of graft anionic polymerization at 40 and 50$^{\circ}$C were 2.82${\times}$10 and 2.93${\times}$10(l/mole, min), respectively.

Solvolysis of $p-CH_3, p-H, p-Cl and p-NO_2$-benzenesulfonyl chlorides have heen studied in MeOH-MeCN mixtures. A nonlinear Hammett plot with a ratio order of p-NO_2 > p-CH_3 > p-H > p-Cl was obtained; the reaction was thought to proceed by an S_N1-S_N2 borderline mechanism. In all cases the reactivity was a maximum at 90∼95%(v) methanol, whereas methanol monomer selectivity defined as fi = \frac{k1}{ki}i (k1; observed pseudo-first order rate constant: ki; hypothetical rate constant for MeOH solution having the same polymer structure as in the pure MeOH) was a maximum at 80% methanol with a decreasing order of fi as p-NO_2 > p-Cl > p-H > p-CH_3.$ This was interpreted as the decrease in tightness of transition state; the larger the fi, the tighter is the MeOH attached to the substrate, and hence the more susceptible the substrate becomes to the approaching monomer methanol.

Free radical-initiated copolymerizations of diethyl ${\alpha}$-phenylvinyl phospbate (DEPVP) with acrylonitrile (AN) and maleic anhydride (MAnh) were studied. The monomer reactivity ratios for AN/DEPVP pair, determined at $70^{\circ}C$ in bulk using benzoyl peroxide as an initiator, were;$ r_1(AN) = 0.77, r_2(DEPVP) = 0.002$. The values of the Alfrey-Price constants, Q and e, for DEPVP were calculated to be 0.012 and -1.35, respectively. Free radical-initiated copolymerization of MAnh/DEPVP pair in chloroform at $70^{\circ}C$ produced 1 : 1 alternating copolymers regardless monomer feed composition with the highest copolymerization rate at the molar ratio of MAnh : DEPVP = 7 : 3. The equilibrium constant of a charge-transfer complex between DEPVP and MAnh in deutrated chloroform, determinated at room temperature by transformed Benesi-Hildebrand NMR method, was 0.085 l/mol. The reduced viscosity of copolymers of AN/DEPVP pair decreased as the content of DEPVP units increased, while that of MAnh/DEPVP pair remained more or less constant.

The copolymerizations of 2-fluorohexylethyl acrylate (FA) with 2-(o-(1'-methylpropylidenamino)carboxyl amino)ethyl methacrylate(MEM) with different molar ratios of the two monomers were carried out in methyl ethyl ketone using ${\alpha}$,${\alpha}$'-azobisisobutyronitrile as an initiator to synthesize water repellent polyacrylate derivatives with protected isocyanate groups. The contents of FA and MEM in the copolymers were analyzed by NMR. The monomer reactivity ratios of MEM (1) and FA (2) were determined by Kelen-Tudos plot as follows : r$\_$1/＝1.59 and r$\_$2/＝0.50. The number-average molecular weights of the copolymers were in the range of 39400 to 72400 and the polydispersity indexes were about 1.5. The protected isocyanate groups in the copolymers were converted into isocyanate groups above 150$^{\circ}C$. The contact angle of the copolymer with 65 ㏖% of FA fur water was about 95$^{\circ}$.
