	abstract = "Microemulsion (ME) and conventional emulsion (CE) co-polymerization of p-methyl styrene (pMSTY) with methyl methacrylate (MMA) are carried out at 70&#176;C using n-pentanol (PA) and n-hexanol (HA), respectively, as co-surfactants along with sodium lauryl sulphate (SLS) as surfactant in the reaction media, and potassium persulphate (KPS) as initiator. The co-polymers are characterized by NMR and GPC techniques. The reactivity ratios are evaluated by employing Fineman-Ross (F-R), Kelen-T&#252;d&#246;s (K-T) and Mayo-Lewis integration (M-L-I) methods. The K-T method yields the reactivity ratios 0.68 &#177; 0.02 (<I>r</I><SUB>pMSTY</SUB>), 0.40 &#177; 0.02 (<I>r</I><SUB>MMA</SUB>), 0.68 &#177; 0.02 (<I>r</I><SUB>pMSTY</SUB>) and 0.68 &#177; 0.02 (<I>r</I><SUB>MMA</SUB>), respectively, for the ME and CE co-polymerizations of pMSTY and MMA with PA as co-surfactant in the reaction media. The K-T method yields the reactivity ratios 1.09 &#177; 0.02 (<I>r</I><SUB>pMSTY</SUB>), 0.37 &#177; 0.02 (<I>r</I><SUB>MMA</SUB>) and 0.78 &#177; 0.02 (<I>r</I><SUB>pMSTY</SUB>) and 0.54 &#177; 0.02 (<I>r</I><SUB>MMA</SUB>), respectively, for the ME and CE co-polymerization of pMSTY and MMA with HA as co-surfactant in the reaction media.",
