    Abstract: A method for preparing polymodal tapered block copolymers in a polymerization process by sequentially charging: (a) an initiator and monovinylaromatic monomers in the presence of a randomizer; (b) an initiator and monovinylaromatic monomers; (c) a mixture of monovinylaromatic and conjugated diene monomers; (d) a mixture of monovinylaromatic and conjugated diene monomers; (e) an initiator and monovinylaromatic monomers; (f) a mixture of monovinylaromatic and conjugated diene monomers; (g) a mixture of monovinylaromatic and conjugated diene monomers; (h) conjugated diene monomers; and (i) a coupling agent. The copolymers are particularly useful for packaging applications which require good environmental stress crack resistance.

    Abstract: A method for preparing resinous polymodal monovinylarene-conjugated diene block copolymers and polymers produced thereby are provided. The method comprises sequentially contacting under polymerization conditions: (a) a monovinylarene monomer and initiator; (b) initiator and a monovinylarene monomer; (c) a sequence of at least two charges selected from the group consisting of (i) initiator and a monovinylarene monomer, (ii) a mixture of monovinylarene monomer and conjugated diene monomer, (iii) a conjugated diene monomer, (iv) a monovinylarene monomer; (d) a coupling agent; wherein the sequence of at least two charges in step (c) can be made in any order. In a preferred embodiment, at least three initiator charges are provided. In another preferred embodiment, at least three monovinylarene charges precede the first charge containing conjugated diene. In another preferred embodiment, at least four monovinylarene charges precede the first charge containing conjugated diene.

    Abstract: A copolymer is prepd. in a reaction zone by: (a) introducing a monovinylaromatic monomer and an initiator in the presence of a randomiser and polymerising until no free monomer is present; (b) adding an initiator and a monovinylaromatic monomer and polymerising until no free monomer is present; (c) adding a mixt. of monovinylaromatic monomer and conjugated diene and polymerising until no free monomer is present; (d) adding a mixt. of monovinylaromatic monomer and conjugated diene monomer and polymerising until no free monomer is present; (e) adding a conjugated diene monomer and allowing complete polymerisation to occur until no free monomer is present; and (f) adding a coupling agent. Only two initiator charges are present and are added in steps (a) and (b). Also claimed are (i) polymodal copolymers produced by the method; (ii)-articles made from the copolymers, and (ii) a polymodal coupled block copolymer having chains resulting from coupling; S-S-B/S-B/S-B-Li S-B/S-B/S-B-Li S = monovinyl aromatic block; B = conjugated diene block; B/S = tapered B and S block; and Li = living polymer or coupling site.
