摘要:
A process for the continuous anionic polymerization or copolymerization of styrene or diene monomers using an alkali metal alkyl compound as polymerization initiator is carried out in the presence of an alkyl- or arylmetal compound of an element which occurs in at least divalent form as rate regulator, preferably under non-isothermal conditions and without back-mixing in a tubular or tube-bundle reactor, preferably using an alkyl- or arylmetal compound A of the formula R1M1 and an alkyl- or arylmetal compound B of the formula R2nM2 in a molar ratio between B and A of from 0.1:1 to 500:1, where M1 is Li, Na or K; R1 is hydrogen, C1-C20-alkyl, C6-C20-aryl, or C7-C20-alkyl-substituted aryl; M2 is an n-valent element from group 2a, 2b or 3a of the Periodic Table; and R2 is hydrogen, halogen, C1-C20-alkyl or C6-C20-aryl; and a special anionic polymerization initiator containing no Lewis base.

摘要:
The anionic polymerization of dienes or copolymers of dienes and vinylaromatic monomers in a vinylaromatic monomer or monomer mixture to give homopolydienes or copolymers or mixed homopolydienes and copolymers is carried out in the presence of a metal alkyl or aryl of an element having a valence of at least two without addition of Lewis bases.

摘要:
A process prepares impact-modified thermoplastic molding compositions which comprise a soft phase made from a rubber dispersed in a hard matrix composed of vinylaromatic monomers, where the hard matrix is prepared by anionic polymerization in the presence of a metal alkyl compound or a metal aryl compound of an element of the second or third main group, or of the second subgroup, of the Periodic Table.
摘要:
Toughened vinyl aromatic compounds, in particular high impact polystyrene, are prepared by a continuous process in which the vinyl aromatic compound and the impact modifier, an elastomeric block copolymer, are each prepared separately in a reaction zone by anionic polymerization, with or without heat exchange with the environment and, if required, with the addition of a solvent, and are polymerized until complete conversion is achieved, and the living chain ends are terminated in a manner known per se, and a thermoplastic, toughened molding material is based on a vinyl aromatic compound having a residual content of less than 50 ppm of monomers and less than 100 ppm of oligomers.

Block copolymers comprise at least two hard blocks S1 and S2 made from vinylaromatic monomers and, between these, at least one random soft block B/S made from vinylaromatic monomers and from dienes, where the proportion of the hard blocks is above 40% by weight, based on the total block copolymer.
