Copolymers containing acrylamide (A) and vinylidene chloride (V) units of different composition were synthesized by free radical solution polymerization. The reactivity ratios were estimated by Kelen Tudos and nonlinear error in variable methods. The triad sequence distribution in terms of A- and V-...
