Calculated reactivity ratios for divinyl monomers.^a

Divinyl monomers^b	(Q₁, e₁)	(Q₂, e₂)	r₁	r₂	r₁/r₂
A: MA vs. BE	(0.45, 0.64)	(0.007, −0.06)	41	0.015	2,800
B: MMA vs. VAc	(0.78, 0.40)	(0.026, −0.88)	18	0.011	1,700
C; MMA vs. AAc	(0.78, 0.40)	(0.24, −1.07)	1.8	0.06	28
D: MMA vs. BE	(0.78, 0.40)	(0.007, −0.06)	89	0.009	10,200
E/F: MSt vs. BE^c	(1.10, −0.60)	(0.007, −0.06)	110	0.007	17,000
G: MOSt vs. BE	(1.53, −1.40)	(0.007, −0.06)	33	0.005	6,800
1: PFS vs. BE^d	(0.86, 0.75)	(0.007, −0.06)	68	0.008	8,800

(Q, e) values are cited from Polymer Handbook,⁵² and reactivity ratios were calculated based on Alfrey-Price equations: r₁=(Q₁/Q₂)·exp[−e₁(e₁−e₂)]; r₂=(Q₂/Q₁)·exp[−e₂(e₂−e₁)].

Individual vinylic functionalities within the divinyl monomer structures. MA: methyl acrylate; BE: 1-butene; MMA: methyl methacrylate; VAc: vinyl acetate; AAc: allyl acetate; MSt: p-methyl styrene; MOSt: p-methoxy styrene.

Both 4-(3-buten-1-yl)-styrene (E) and (3′-buten-1′-oxy) 4-vinylbenzyl ether (F) were approximated to the same copolymerization system as 4-methoxy styrene vs. 1-butene.

4-(3′-Buten-1′-oxy)-2,3,5,6-tetrafluorostyrene (1) was approximated to a copolymer pair of PFS with BE. The (Q, e) of PFS is cited from the literature.⁵⁵
