Free-radical copolymerizations of styrene with α-methylstyrene and methyl methacrylate and of acrylonitrile with α-methylstyrene have been carried out in the approximate regions of the ceiling temperatures of α-methylstyrene and methyl methacrylate. A theoretical treatment of copolymerization emphasizing the thermodynamic reversibility of particular propagation reactions has been compared with a kinetic treatment of copolymerization which emphasizes penultimate unit effects on the same propagation reactions. The former is found to adequately describe experimental copolymer composition data over a wide range of temperatures and over the complete range of monomer feed composition.
