Summary

End-group analyses of copolymers of 2-isopropenylnaphthalene (iPN) with methyl methacrylate have been used to compare the reactivities of the monomers towards the 1-cyano-1-methylethyl and benzoyloxy radicals. It is found that iPN is very similar to 2-vinylnaphthalene in its reactivity towards these initiating radicals. In this respect, the results resemble those for the pair styrene and alpha-methylstyrene. The monomers containing the naphthyl group are appreciably more reactive than those containing the phenyl group.
