Summary: Since copolymerization parameters of acrylic acid (AA) and 2‐hydroxypropyl acrylate (HPA) in aqueous solutions are scarcely investigated a new method and different experimental setups were developed to run copolymerization experiments at different temperatures and pH values. The experiments were done with UV‐ or azo‐ initiation and analyzed by residual monomer analytics with HPLC and GPC methods. Based on the data obtained the conversion and copolymerization parameters were calculated with different mathematical models.
