Styrene → Styrene-butadiene-styrene

Participants

Reaction Steps

4,800 g of cyclohexane was charged to a 10 l autoclave and with the addition of 11 g of tetrahydrofuran, 124 g of styrene monomer and 13.3 mmol of n-butyl lithium, the mixture was under polymerization for 30 minutes. Then, 552 g of 1,3-butadiene monomer was added to the reactor to polymerize the mixture for 1 hour.
