Summary: The block copolymers of styrene and ethyl α ‐cyanocinnamate were prepared in dioxane and xylene with TEMPO‐capped polystyrene (PSTEMPO) as macroinitiator. The copolymerizations were carried out at 125 °C and 135 °C. The reactivity ratios were determined according to Kelen Tüdos and compared with the reactivity ratios from the radical copolymerization of styrene and ethyl α ‐cyanocinnamate determined by Kohn et al. The influence of the comonomer ethyl α ‐cyanocinnamate on the glass transition temperature was studied in comparison with the corresponding homopolystyrene.Plots of conversion versus molecular weight distributions of the polymerizations with styrene at 125 °C.
