Copolymerization of hydroxyalkyl methacrylates with acrylamide and methacrylamide I. Determination of reactivity ratios

The free-radical copolymerization of 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate, 2-hydroxypropyl methacrylate, and 3-chloro-2-hydroxypropyl methacrylate with acrylamide and methacrylamide was investigated. The reactivity ratios of the monomers were determined by the Fineman-Ross and Kelen-Tüdös methods. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 64: 1259–1265, 1997
