Abstract
The copolymerization of styrene and chloranil in the presence of benzoyl peroxide is described. The molecular weights of the copolymers were determined by osmotic pressure measurements and found to be between 9,000 and 30,000 for the different fractions; their chlorine content is between 37 and 38.2%. The copolymerization occurs with the carbonyl groups of the chloranil, transforming it into a derivative of tetrachlorohydroquinone. This reaction has been verified by degradation of the copolymers with hydrogen bromide.Keywords
