  Process for producing graft-modified .alpha.-olefin copolymer - Patent 5037890
Copolymerization of ethylene/propylene/divinylbenzene was conducted in the same conditions and methods as is Example A9 except that 4.49 mmole of triethylaluminium and 2.26 mmole of titanium tetrachloride (molar ratio of Al/Ti=2) were used as a catalyst, and 10 ml of divinylbenzene and 1,500 ml of hydrogen were used with a copolymerization time of 5 hours.
Copolymerization was conducted in the same manner and condition as in the step (a) of Example A1 except that 200 mg of titanium trichloride and 600 ml of hydrogen were used to obtain 198 g of a propylene/divinylbenzene copolymer (catalyst activity: 990 g copolymer/g solid catalyst).

 Copolymerization - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In chemistry, copolymerization is the process of using more than one monomer in the production of a polymer, resulting in a product with properties different to the homopolymer of either monomer.
The resulting product may be a random copolymer, an alternating copolymer, or a block copolymer.
The Mayo-Lewis equation (also called the copolymerization equation) gives the molar ratios of the two monomers in the resulting copolymer as:

We have found that the enzymatic copolymerization of lignin with p-cresol in reversed micelles was extremely fast and occurred through the formation of a dark precipitate within a minute of reaction.
A mechanism of copolymerization of lignin with cresol (Popp et al, 1991) is seen in Figure 3, where p-cresol and units of lignin are oxidised by HRP/H
The peroxidase-catalyzed copolymerization of straw-pulp-lignin with cresol in reversed micellar systems is attractive because it is possible to use the surfactant, as design variable in manipulating the mean molecular weight of the copolymer.

The anion-radical reactions refer to the phase transfer catalyzed (PTC) copolymerization of 4-bromo-2,6-dimethylphenol (BDMP) with a comonomer phenol and the PTC depolymerization of poly(2,6-dimethyl-1,4-phenylene oxide)s (PPO) in the presence of a phenol.
The PTC copolymerization of BDMP with 2,2-bis(4-hydroxy-3,5-dimethylphenyl)propane yielded α,ω-bis(2,6-dimethylphenol)-PPO (PPO-2OH).
Chain termination was observed in the PTC copolymerization of BDMP with a 4-substituted-2,6-di-tert-butylphenol.

 Ink jet recording sheet and process for producing same - Patent 4944988
When styrene is used, however, preferably the principal copolymerization component (fatty acid vinyl ester) is polymerized and the resultant polymer is then used as a seed and copolymerized with styrene comonomer and the cationic copolymerization component (cationic monomer).
In the preparation of the cationic copolymer emulsion, the vinyl acetate principal copolymerization component was used in an amount of 995 parts, and the cationic copolymerization component consisted of 5 parts of dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate-methyl chloride salt.
A mixture of copolymerization components was prepared in a dropping funnel from 800 parts of vinyl acetate, 195 parts of vinyl versatate and 5 parts of dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate by mixing and stirring.

 Synthesis and copolymerization of asymmetric polymers - Patent 4524188
Copolymerizations proceeded readily and the system exhibited nearly ideal behavior i.e., the amount of macromer in the charge and graft copolymers was identical within what is considered to be experimental error.
The copolymerization with MMA is merely illustrative of the types of syntheses which may be carried out using the asymmetric polymers.
The PIB-MA macromer was homopolymerized and copolymerized with methyl methacrylate (MMA) in benzene with 2 mole % AIBN initiator at 60 degrees C. The concentrations of PIB-MA and MMA are shown in Table IV.

 Olefin polymerization and copolymerization catalyst - Patent 5182245
A typical catalyst system for the polymerization or copolymerization of alpha olefins is formed by combining the supported titanium-containing catalyst or catalyst component of this invention and an alkyl aluminum compound, together with modifiers including an electron donor and, preferably, a silane.
Such conditions include polymerization or copolymerization temperature and time, pressure(s) of the monomer(s), avoidance of contamination of catalyst, choice of polymerization or copolymerization medium in slurry processes, the use of additives to control polymer or copolymer molecular weights, and other conditions well known to persons of skill in the art.
It often is desirable to purify the polymerization or copolymerization medium prior to use, such as by distillation, percolation through molecular sieves, contacting with a compound such as an alkylaluminum compound capable of removing trace impurities, or by other suitable means.

Copolymerization of acrylonitrile and styrene induced by ionizing radiation was investigated in bulk.
Variables studied were: the dependence of the copolymerization rate on dose rate, polymerization temperature, and monomer ratio in the monomer mixture; and the composition curves of copolymerization at various temperature.
The copolymerization rate was proportional to the square root of dose rate in the molar equivalent mixture of monomers at room temperature.

After the copolymerization, the polymeric materials were purified by reprecipitation (chloroform as good solvent, methanol as poor solvent).
In the copolymerization without lipase (control experiment), the monomers were recovered unchanged (entry 5), indicating that the present copolymerization proceeded through the enzyme catalysis.
In the present copolymerization of a combination of three monomers, the equimolar amount of divinyl ester and glycol monomers is assumed to react each other, and hence, the resulting copolymer can be regarded as of binary system (lactone and divinyl ester/glycol).

 Copolymerization: Toward a Systematic Approach
Copolymerization is a very widely used industrial process — in fact, it is the dominant process in macromolecular chemistry.
Copolymerization: Toward a Systematic Approach addresses this field, treating the definition of various kinetic models, their estimation through different calculation methods, the discrimination among kinetic models by means of composition data, and the influence of the reaction environment upon the values of reactivity ratios.
Particular attention is given to elements of the composition equation: real values of reactivity ratios (for binary and ternary copolymerization) and actual comonomer concentrations (for solution, emulsion, and suspension copolymerization).

The properties of the polymer depend heavily on such things as its molecular weight distribution, chemical composition, and sequence distribution -and these are governed by the rates of the various reactions that occur during the polymerization process.
Modeling copolymerization is very complicated as, not only are there different classes of reaction to consider (such as initiation, propagation, termination, and chain-transfer), but the radicals undergoing these reactions can also have countless different chemical compositions (being composed of various combinations of the different monomer units).
Nonetheless, by designing model copolymerization systems, such as pairs of sterically similar but electronically different para-substituted styrene systems, I was able to provide direct evidence against the restricted model.

 Vinyl Acetate Emulsion Polymerization and Copolymerization with Acrylic Monomers   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
The versatility of the emulsion copolymerization reaction and the ability to control the properties of the final latices have led to rapid expansion both in the quantity of polyvinylacetate and vinyl acetate-acrylic copolymer latices and in their applications.
Vinyl Acetate Emulsion Polymerization and Copolymerization with Acrylic Monomers provides a collection and logical organization of the published data - much of it formerly found fragmented throughout various journals and little of it referenced in general emulsion polymerization books.
To date, no one source has offered chemists and polymer, surface, or colloid specialists the "big picture" of polyvinylacetate-based latices.Integrating established knowledge with the latest research developments, this book provides the background for understanding the mechanism and kinetics of emulsion polymerization initiated in the aqueous phase and some of the practical problems of latex production.

It was shown that both the pendant vinyl groups and Py molecules are affected by the reaction medium in a similar way; their mobility decreases as the DVB concentration increases or the temperature decreases.
The thermodynamic part of the model describes the phase equilibria between the gel and separated phases during the S - DVB copolymerization and predicts the volume of the separated phase, which is the pore volume of the crosslinked material, as a function of the monomer conversion.
