Table 4.

Homopropagation kp (L/mol s) values (with 95% confidence intervals) estimated by fitting of the terminal model to BMA/HEMA kp,cop data obtained in xylene (XYL), butanol (BUOH), and DMF solution at 50 and 80 °C, with reactivity ratios for each system taken from Table 2. Percentage values represent the vol% of comonomer mixture in the solvent.
