Abstract:  For the naphthalene photoinitiated copolymerization of acrylonitrile with styrene, methyl methacrylate, vinyl chloride, vinyl acetate, and isoprene the copolymerization parameters, number average molecular weights, and limiting viscosity numbers of copolymers were determined. It was found that copolyme­rization rates increased by increasing the acrylonitrile concentration in feed. The results obtained point at the radical nature of copolymerization.
