Free radical polymerization in binary or ternary systems usually leads to a blend of polymer chains with different composition as a consequence of different monomer reactivity, hence the most reactive monomers are consumed first, and consequently the polymer is enriched in monomers of lower reactivity. This effect is even stronger, when monomers which cannot undergo homopolymerization are used. The preferred route to overcome this problem is to feed continuously the reaction mixture with monomers at the same rate at which they are consumed. In Chapter 3 copolymerization of maleic anhydride, butyl-methacrylate and 1H,1H,2H,2H-perfluorodecylmethacrylate is described. The kinetics of the copolymerization of F8H2MA/MSA, BMA/MSA, and F8H2MA/BMA have been extensively studied under well-defined reaction conditions: the determined copolymerization parameters were rF8H2MA = 4.9, rMSA = 0, rBMA = 8.2, rMSA = 0, and rF8H2MA = 1.02, rBMA = 0.94. The reaction rates at chosen conditions were between Rp=0.47 wt %F PUB:(DE-HGF)11 %9 Dissertation / PhD Thesis %R 10.18154/RWTH-2019-08579 %U https://publications.rwth-aachen.de/record/767125
