**Abstract**
 The copolymerisation of 2-exo-methylene-4-phenyl,3-dioxolane with bisphenol-A-diglycidylether and methyl methacrylate using a cationic and a radical initiator is described. The structure of the polymers is elucidated by NMR and IR spectroscopy. Using a cationic photoinitiator, the dioxolane structure is maintained in the copolymer and remaining oxirane structures from the bisphenol-A-diglycidylether can be proved. It is demonstrated that no complete ring-opening of the dioxolane takes place in the presence of a radical initiator, leading to statistical polymers with methyl methacrylate. 6 refs.
