The average diad concentrations of methyl methacrylate (MMA) unit, P 2 { M i M j }, of the title terpolymer prepared by radical polymerization with various conversions were studied by 1 H‐NMR measurements. Several methoxy proton peaks of MMA resolved by the diamagnetic shielding effects of styrene were assigned to the individual microstructures of MMA‐centered triads. The P 2 { M i M j } were determined from these peak ratios according to the terminal copolymerization model and the Ham's assumption of statistical simplification for a multicomponent copolymer ( P 2 { M i M j } = P 2 { M j M i }), The observed values, P 2 { M i M j }, agreed with the values calculated from the monomer reactivity ratios for each conversions, and agreement with the copolymerization theory was evident.
