High conversion terpolymer

Such a distinction in composition inhomogeneity of the copolymers may have caused the variation in transparency which was observed experimentally by Sloco-mbe [36]. He examined forty-four three-component systems and established several empirical rules enabling the interpretation of experimental data on the transparency of high-conversion terpolymers. These empirical rules were explained later [37] in terms of the theory of dynamic systems whose methods have been successfully employed for qualitative analysis of the solutions of the set of dynamic... 

As a necessary preliminary to the study of how compositional heterogeneity affects the properties of the polymers, compositionally heterogeneous and homogeneous co- and terpolymers had to be synthesised. It Is common in copolymerisations for the relative reactivity of the co-monomers to be different (5) so that during polymerisations carried out to high conversion In a free-running batch reactor, the Initially formed polymer Is richer In the more reactive monomer, whereas, at the end of the reaction the polymer produced contains a greater proportion of the less reactive monomer. In such circumstances, compositional...
