Abstract
The radical copolymerization of vinylidene chloride (Vc, M1) with 3(2-methyl)-6-methylpyridazinone (I, M2) was carried out in benzene, ethanol, phenol, and acetic acid at 60 and 80°C. The monomer reactivity ratios were found to vary with the reaction conditions. The linear correlationships were obtained by plotting the values of log r1 against those of V C[dbnd]O and V C[dbnd]C of monomers determined in the solvents.
