    Abstract: A process for producing high impact polystyrene comprising introducing to a reactor a partially-polymerized mixture comprising at least one vinyl aromatic monomer, an elastomer and reacted vinyl aromatic monomer wherein the partially-polymerized mixture has not undergone phase inversion; polymerizing the partially-polymerized mixture in the reactor to the phase inversion point to form a phase-inverted mixture; recovering a portion of the phase-inverted mixture from the reactor wherein the phase-inverted mixture comprises high impact polystyrene; and introducing another portion of the phase-inverted mixture to another reactor.

    Abstract: A macromonomer precursor is provided that includes a polymeric chain derived from farnesene and a single functional terminal end. The functional terminal end may include a hydroxyl group, an amino group, an epoxy group, an isocyanato group, or a carboxylic acid group. The terminal end of the macromonomer precursor may then be reacted with a (meth)acrylate to form a macromonomer having a (meth)acrylate functionalized terminal end that may be (co)polymerized with radically polymerizable monomers, such as alkyl(meth)acrylate monomers. Alternatively, a copolymer may be obtained by first deriving a poly(meth)acrylate from (meth)acrylate monomers having reactive groups that would allow the macromonomer precursors to be grafted onto the poly(meth)acrylate in a second step. The resulting copolymer may be incorporated as an additive in various formulations, such as a lubricant, a hydraulic fluid, a cosmetic composition, and an adhesive composition.

    Abstract: A curable low sulfur liquid rubber composition including at least one polymer which contains, in polymerized form, at least one monomer having a carbon chain of four and a peroxide system which includes at least one organic peroxide and at least one coagent. The polymer has a vinyl content of 1% to 90% and a number average molecular weight of 800 g/mol to 70,000 g/mol. The curable low sulfur liquid rubber composition has a sulfur content of 0 to 1%, by weight, and is curable at a temperature of 100° C. to 190° C.
