The copolymerization of glycidylmethacrylate–methylmethacrylate–divinylbenzene in cyclohexane was studied as an example of crosslinking precipitation copolymerization. The resultant copolymer is fine spheroidal. The copolymerization proceeds acceleratively at first, then steadily, and gradually slows down. The larger the divinylbenzene concentration, the smaller is the copolymerization rate. Glycidylmethacrylate is preferentially incorporated in the copolymer.
