摘要:
An improved process for the preparation of copolymers of .alpha.-methylstyrene and other co-monomers such as acrylonitrile styrene, methyl methacrylate and the like, wherein a substantially water-immiscible softener is employed, particularly prior to coagulation of the latex formed of the copolymer, whereby an improved product of higher bulk density and easier to employ in a subsequent processing is obtained.
摘要:
The invention relates to a heat resistant polymer composition based on one or more graft copolymers of styrene and acrylonitrile on a rubber and a copolymer of .alpha.-methylstyrene and acrylonitrile.This composition comprises:A. A graft copolymer obtained by polymerizing 50-80 parts by weight of a monomer mixture consisting of20-40% by weight of acrylonitrile,50-80% by weight of styrene and0-30% by weight of one or more other monomers in the presence of 20-50 parts by weight of rubber (in respect of 100 parts by weight of graft copolymer) andB. a copolymer of .alpha.-methylstyrene and acrylonitrile obtained by polymerizing a mixture of 60-80 parts by weight of .alpha.-methylstyrene and 20-40 parts by weight of acrylonitrile, of which copolymer the spiral flow length (S) is at least 65 and the flow index (V) 45 at most, and the ratio between spiral flow length and the flow index is at least 3.0, and in which polymer composition 35 to 80% by weight of copolymer of .alpha.-methylstyrene and acrylonitrile is present.
摘要:
An improved process for the preparation of heat resistant copolymers of an alpha-methylstyrene and acrylonitrile by polymerization thereof in aqueous emulsion, and in the presence of a free-radical-supplying compound and a chain-transfer agent. The polymerization reaction is insufficiently cooled to remove all of the released reaction heat, and in combination therewith the polymerization is conducted at a temperature of the aqueous emulsion maintained at a level of at most 110.degree., while further maintaining the mean rate of temperature increase per hour, v, at a value of at most 60.degree. C. per hour, wherein v is determined by the formula: ##EQU1## in which: T.sub.m =maximum temperature of the aqueous emulsion (.degree.C.),T.sub.o =temperature of the aqueous emulsion at the start of the polymerization (.degree.C.)t.sub.m =time in hours at which T.sub.m is reached, andt.sub.o =time in hours at which the polymerization is started whereby the rate of monomer conversion is maximized.
