Abstract Controlled free radical polymerization (CFRP) of vinyl chloride (VCM) and copolymerization with several comonomers have been studied in aqueous suspension. Therefore di‐tert‐butylnitroxide and three novel nitroxyl radicals were used as mediating agents. Copolymerization of VCM with styrene, partly combined with acrylonitrile, maleic acid anhydride and maleic acid imide as well as methyl methacrylate, n‐butyl methacrylate, butyl acrylate and butadiene have been achieved, demonstrating an efficient route for novel vinyl chloride copolymer architecture.
