Abstract

A mathematical model is presented that simulates the polymerization of styrene in the presence of polybutadiene (PB) for producing high‐impact polystyrene (HIPS) via the heterogeneous bulk process. The model follows the polymerization in two phases; and calculates in each phase the main reaction variables and the molecular structure of the three polymeric components: free polystyrene (PS), unreacted PB, and graft copolymer. Two polymerizations (at 90 and 120°C) were carried out and simulated. The model was validated with measurements of the monomer conversion, the grafting efficiencies, and the average molecular weights. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 99: 3023–3039, 2006

Radical polymerizations of styrene in the presence of C 60 have been conducted at 90°C 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
