Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a transparent impact resistant improved polystyrene with favorable balance in the ratios of toughness and stiffness without conventional drawbacks. SOLUTION: The block copolymer is produced from an aromatic vinyl monomer and contains at least two hard blocks S 1 and S 2 . The block copolymer contains at least one random soft block B/S produced from the aromatic vinyl monomer and a diene between the hard blocks S 1 and S 2 , and contains less than 20% of 1,2-vinyl in the soft block B/S and has the hard block ratios at 51-74 mass% in the total block copolymers without containing a single polymer block B composed of the diene.

Abstract:
Anionic polymerization is used for the preparation of reaction mixtures comprising homopolymers, copolymers or block copolymers, and of homopolymers, copolymers and block copolymers which comprise acrylates or methacrylates or acrylates and methacrylates, wherein olefinically unsaturated compounds which are not acrylate or methacrylate derivatives are employed as solvent or as solvent component.
Abstract:
A method for the production of impact-resistant moulding materials by anionic polymerization of vinyl aromatic monomers in the presence of rubber in a continuously through-flown reactor cascade consisting of at least two reactors. The vinyl aromatic monomers are fed to the reactors of the reactor cascade in partial flows and an anionic initiator and rubber are fed to at least the first reactor. The reactor cascade consists of backmixed reactors.

Abstract:
A continuous anionic polymerisation or copolymerisation process of styrene or diene monomers with alkali metal alkyl as polymerisation initiator is carried out in the presence of a metal alkyl or aryl of an at least bivalent element as reaction speed regulator, preferably in non-isotherm conditions and without a back admixture in a pipe or pipe bundle reactor. A metal alkyl or aryl A of formula R M and a metal alkyl or aryl B of formula R nM in a molar ratio between B and A from 0.1:1 to 500:1 are used. In the formulas, M is Li, Na or K; R is hydrogen, C1-C20-alkyl or C6-C20-aryl or C7-C20-alkyl-substituted aryl; M is an n-valent element of groups 2a, 2b or 3a of the periodic table of elements; and R is hydrogen, halogen, C1-C20-alkyl or C6-C20-alkyl. Also disclosed is a special initiator for the anionic polymerisation which does not contain any Lewis bases. 00000
Abstract:
A rubber elastic block copolymer has at least one block A made of polymerise d units of a vinyl aromatic monomer that forms a hard phase and/or a block B with diene monomers that forms a first rubber elastic (soft) phase, and at least one elastomer block B/A with polymerised units of both a vinyl aromatic monomer and a diene that for ms if required a second or additional soft phase. The glass transition temperature T g of block A is higher than 25 .degree.C and that o f blocks B or B/A is lower than 25 .degree.C. The phase volume ratio between blocks A and B/A is selected so that the hard phase represents 1 - 40 % by volume of the total block copolymer and the diene amounts to less than 50 % by weight.
