Abstract
Polystyrene latexes have been synthesized by a method based on that Kotera et al.^4^ The polymerization rates and yields have been improved by the addition of an alcohol (methanol) to the reactants. The effects of varying the methanol content and other process variables on the polymerization and on the properties of the latex are reported.

Radical polymerizations of styrene in the presence of C 60 have been conducted at 90ยฐC in benzene using benzoyl peroxide (BPO) as initiator. The behaviors of C 60 are investigated by monitoring BPO concentration, C 60 content, and polymerization time. It is found that C 60 acts like a radical absorb
