Abstract: The sequence structure of methyl methacrylate (MMA)-N-phenylmaleimide (PMI) and styrene (St)-PMIcopolymers was studied in detail with NMR spectroscopy. MMA PMIcopolymer was in random sequence distribution, and St-PMIcopolymer was alternating in structure. Some stereo information of MMA-PMIcopolymer could be obtained from 1HNMR result. The sequence length obtained from the triad of copolymer by 13CNMR was in agreement with that calculated from the reactivity ratios. From the triad of copolymer by 13CNMR, the copolymer chain of MMA-PMI was proved being one order Markov chain. More suitable propagation reactions were proposed from the deviation of sequence distribution of St-PMIcopolymer.
