Abstract Branching and cross‐linking are noted in emulsion and mass polymerizations involving vinyl benzoate and nuclearly substituted vinyl benzoates. A theory is proposed to account for this phenomenon based on free radical addition to the benzoate nucleus. Six new vinyl esters of substituted benzoic acids are described.
