Abstract

Abstract A suspension polymerization process for polymerizing a styrene-containing monomer composition in the presence of untreated carbon black to produce a polymer comprising more than 40 weight percent of styrene moiety is described. The monomer composition comprises at least one styrene monomer having a substituent with a Hammett sigma value more positive than about 0.06.
