The flask was charged with brominated styrene monomer (1002.6), dichlorobenzene (497 g), glycidyl methacrylate (5.13 g, 0.0360 mol), 2,4-diphenyl-4-methyl-1-pentene (20.26 g, 0.08571 mol), VAZO-52™ azo type initiator (1.05 g, 4.22 mmol) and cumene hydroperoxide (1.06 g, 6.96 mmol). The solution was then heated to about 90° C. until exotherm. Peak temperature reached was 163° C. after which the mixture was heated to 190° C. over 5-10 min and held at 190° C. for 40-45 min. Heating was halted; the solution (1513.7 g) was transferred to a 2-liter bottle, and cooled to room temperature. The material was split into four parts. Each part was precipitated into a 5-liter flask of 3400 mL acetone and 400 mL methanol. The precipitate was filtered over frit, dried at ambient temperature for about 14 h and oven dried at 110° C. for 8 h. A white powder (883 g) was isolated.
