The free‐radical copolymerization of ethene and butyl acrylate was studied between 130 and 225°C at pressures from 1 500 to 2 500 bar. The reactions which were induced either thermally or laser‐photochemically were run in two types of continuously operated devices. Reactivity ratio data referring to ethene‐rich monomer mixtures are presented. These data allow to estimate the copolymer composition in ethene/butyl acrylate copolymerizations carried out in a wide range of temperatures and pressures.
