Abstract
Abstract 1. A process which comprises (a) dissolving a major amount of styrene and a minor amount of divinyl benzene in an inert organic liquid which is a solvent for styrene but not for linear polystyrene, said inert organic liquid being selected from the group consisting of an inert aliphatic oxygen-containing solvent and an inert aliphatic hydrocarbon solvent, said solvent being present in an amount sufficient to impart a spongelike porosity to the copolymer formed therein; (b) incorporating said solution into an excess of water to form a dispersion of droplets; and (c) copolymerizing said styrene and said divinyl benzene while suspended in said aqueous medium and in the presence of said inert organic liquid, the resulting copolymer being recovered in the form of opaque resin beads. 3. A method for producing anion-exchange resins which comprises haloalkylating and aminating the product formed in the process of claim 2.
