Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

Into a 1 liter four-necked flask, 228 g (1 mol) of dibutyl maleate was charged and heated to 160° C. under a nitrogen stream. Then, a mixture comprising 104 g (1 mol) of styrene and 8.76 g (0.06 mol) of di-tert-butyl peroxide, was continuously dropwise added thereto under stirring over a period of 5 hours. After the addition, the mixture was further reacted at the same temperature for 1 hour. After the completion of the reaction, low boiling point components and unreacted monomers contained in the reaction mixture were removed by distillation under a reduced pressure of from 1 to 3 mmHg, to obtain 309 g (yield: 93%) of a styrene-dibutyl maleate copolymer.
