Copolymers of PPEA with 2-phenylethyl acrylate (PEA) were prepared by free radical polymerization. The reactivity ratios were estimated using various graphical methods. Structural parameters of the copolymers were obtained by calculating the dyad monomer sequence fractions and the mean sequence length. Optical properties of polymers such as refractive indices and UV-Visible absorption were investigated. The glass transition temperature and thermal degradation behavior of the copolymers were studied. Combined with the RI, transparency and thermal properties, prepared copolymers hold great promise as materials for intraocular lens applications.</p>10a2-Phenoxy-2-phenylethyl acrylate10a2-phenylethyl acrylate10acopolymerization10aOptical properties10areactivity ratios10aThermal properties1 aGhorpade, Ravindra, V.1 aPonrathnam, Surendra1 aChavan, Nayaku  uhttps://library.ncl.res.in/content/synthesis-2-phenoxy-2-phenylethyl-acrylate-and-copolymerization-2-phenylethyl-acrylate
