AbstractCopolymers of methyl‐2,3,3‐trifluoroacrylate with isobutylene, propylene, ethylene, and n‐alkyl vinyl ethers, (the alkyl being ethyl, propyl, butyl) glycidyl vinyl ether, and 2‐methoxyethylvinyl ether were prepared by radical solution polymerization using di(isopropoxycarbonyl) peroxide as the initiator. Their structure was that of the alternating order of methyltrifluoroacrylate and the respective vinyl monomer units. The rate of copolymerization and molecular weights of the copolymers were determined by the ratio of both monomers and by the character of the vinyl comonomer. By means of the alkaline hydrolysis of trifluoroacrylate units, the corresponding copolymers of trifluoroacrylic acid were prepared. Their degree of dissociation was characterized by pK values. The rate of alkaline hydrolysis was considerably affected by the copolymer structure. The polymeric materials prepared in this study possessed good thermal stability, and their thermal decomposition did not occur belo
