Gamma irradiation of vinyl monomers emulsified in polymer lattices is shown to be a useful method for the synthesis of non-random copolymers. Examples include the copolymerization of methyl methacrylate and butyl methacrylate with both styrene and vinyl acetate. The reactions are complete after a relatively small dose and no provision need be made to exclude air. The reaction products were separated by fractional precipitation techniques. (auth)
