ABSTRACT:
Copolymers of alpha-emthylstyrene and its like alkenyl aromatic monomers containing alpha-methyl substitution in the alkenyl portion of the monomer molecule (to provide alpha-methyl-alkenyl aromatic), particularly the copolymers of .alpha.-methylstyrene with styrene, which exhibit excellent homogeneity are produced with anionic catalyst initiation in, most advantageously, solution systems using intensive backmixing, recirculatory sorts of reactor unit apparatus in which to conduct the copolymerization by continuously charging a feed stream to the reactor of the mixed monomers to be copolymerized in which the ratio of .alpha.-methylalkenyl aromatic monomer to sytrene or other non-.alpha.-methyl-containing-alkenyl aromatic monomer is kept in unusually low relative proportions while keeping the reaction mass in which the copolymer is being formed in nicely homogeneous mixture.
