The influence of copolymer composition on the rheological properties of random copolymers of styrene with methyl methacrylate (SMMA) obtained by radical polymerization in bulk was investigated. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) analysis shows that the glass-transition temperature of the copolymers increases with the methyl methacrylate (MMA) content. The knowledge of the glass transition is used to compare the different copolymers in an iso-free volume condition for melt rheology. Time temperature superposition was used to get a large frequency window ranging from the terminal zone up to the glassy plateau. The mechanical spectroscopy especially, was used to estimate the rubbery plateau modulus and the Newtonian viscosity. It has been possible to estimate the rubbery plateau modulus of SMMA copolymers from the experimental values of the corresponding homopolymers. For this particular system, the molecular weight between entanglement was shown to follow a simple blending law.
