The different copolymers are labelled as follows: C1 = Poly(MMA-co-BMA); C2 = Poly(IBMA-co-BMA); C3 = Poly(LA-co-BMA); C4 = Poly(VAc20-co-BMA80); C5 = Poly(VAc50-co-BMA50); C6 = Poly(BMA-co-IBMA-co-LA); C7 = Poly(MMA-co-BMA-co-IBMA). The molecular weight achieved for these copolymers is even greater than their respective homopolymers with a significantly narrower dispersity. The molecular weight of 10-20 million has been breached for these copolymers.
