ABSTRACT:
It has been discovered that improved polystyrene products may be obtained by polymerizing styrene in the presence of p-t-butyl styrene (TBS) and optionally at least one di-olefinic substituted aromatic compound, such as isopro-penyl styrene, sec-butenyl styrene, m-isobutenyl styrene, p-diisopropenyl benzene, diallyl benzene, and/or diallyl phthalate. The resulting copolymers have a higher glass transition temperature (Tg), a higher molecular weight distribution (MWD), a higher Mz, and a lower melt flow index (MFI) as compared with a polymerized product made by an otherwise identical method except that TBS and/or the di-olefinic substituted aromatic compound are not used. These copoly-mers are also more highly branched as compared with a polymerized product made by an otherwise identical method in the absence of TBS and/or a di-olefinic substituted aromatic compound.
