polymerization temperature and conversion on the composition and molecular weight of vinylidene chloride(VDC) - acrylonitrile(AN) copoly-mer
and rate of reaction were studied. A kinetic rate model of suspension copolymerization is suggested. The dependency of copolymer composition on AN concentration in the water phase was discussed. A model of molecular weight as a function of polymerization temperature and initiator concentration was proposed.
