The reactivity ratios in the copolymerization of N‐vinyloxazolidone with styrene, methyl methacrylate, decyl methacrylate, vinyl acetate, and vinyl chloride have been determined and the Alfrey‐Price Q and e values calculated. Reactivity ratios in the copolymerization of N‐vinylpyrrolidone with styrene, methyl methacrylate, and vinyl acetate have also been determined and the Q and e values determined. N‐Vinyloxazolidone was found to be similar but less reactive than N‐vinylpyrrolidone as a comonomer; however, the properties of the resultant copolymers differed appreciably.

The reactivity ratios in the copolymerizations of N‐tert‐octyl acrylamide, N‐n‐octyl acrylamide, and N,N‐di‐n‐butyl acrylamide with styrene and methyl methacrylate have been determined, and the Alfrey‐Price Q and e values calculated. The distributed monomer N,N‐di‐n‐butyl acrylamide was found to be more reactive than either N‐n‐octyl or N‐tert‐octyl acrylamide, which were of about the same reactivity.
