Abstract
Various experiments have been made on α-chloroacrylate polymers for improvement in their heat stability and mechanical properties. A series of studies made by Marvel on α-halo acrylate polymer showed many facts that its structure is mostly of “head to tail” one (U. S. Patent 2, 379, 104., ) Using the marvel method the most suitable conditions for synthesizing Me α-chloroacrylate was sought.
Copolymerization of α-chloroacrylate with vinylidene chloride are made and the monomer reactivity ratios are calculated. These values are found nearly equal to those calculated from the Q-e scheme.
