Solution copolymerization of Styrene(St.) with 2-Hydroxypropylacrylate(2-HPA) was carried out with Benzoylperoxide(BPO) as an initiator in toluene at $80^{circ}C$ in a batch reactor. Reaction volume and reaction time were 0.3 liters, 8 hours respectively. The time to reach steady state was about the six time. The monomer reactivity ratios, $r_1$(St.) and $r_2$(2-HPA) were determined by both the Kelen-Tudos method and the Fineman-Ross method ; $r_1$(St.)=0.376(0.330), $r_2$(2-HPA)=0.408(0.778). The activation energy of thermal decomposition was in the range of $33{sim}55kcal/mol$.
