Abstract:
Process for the polymerization of vinyl chloride in the absence of solvents or dispersing agents in two stages. In the first stage the liquid monomers are polymerized to a conversion of from 1 to 15 percent; in the second stage polymerization is continued in the powder phase in the absence of liquid vinyl chloride. The process may be carried out continuously and gives very pure polymers which may be used for all purposes for which polyvinyl chloride is usually employed.
Abstract:
A process prepares styrene polymers comprising water as sole blowing agent by mixing a polystyrene melt with water and with an emulsifying agent in an extruder, extruding the melt into a waterbath and pelletizing the cooled extrudate.

Abstract:
Preparation of styrene polymers containing a propellant by polymerisation of styrene with comonomers, in aqueous suspension, with addition, (at start or during polymerisation) of amphiphilic organic emulsifying agent containing hydrophilic and hydrophobic groups, or a polymer carrying a polar group, (miscible in water), so the suspended styrene droplets contain finely distributed water particles.

Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for producing styrene polymers containing water as only inflating agent by mixing a polystyrene melt with water and an emulsifier in an extruder, expressing the molten mass in a water bath and granulating the cooled extrudate.
