The conversion curve of the copolymerization of vinyl chloride with propene and the conversion curves of both monomers were determined, their initial reaction rates compared, and the copolymerization parameters determined by a method which utilizes periodical sampling of a heterogeneous reaction mixture from the reactor during the reaction and gas‐chromatographic determination of unreacted monomers contained in the sample. The agreement between the final conversion values determined chromatographically and gravimetrically was evaluated by using results of a series of copolymerizations of vinyl chloride containing various amounts of propene in the initial monomeric mixture (5–30 wt %) carried out under the same conditions.
