Abstract
ALTHOUGH the polymerization of organic compounds has been known for more than 100 years, the simultaneous polymerization of two or more monomers was not investigated until about 1911, when copolymers of olefines and diolefines were examined and found to have rubber-like properties. For some time the investigation of the mechanisms of the reactions of Copolymerization lagged behind that of the properties of copolymers.
