Abstract
Abstract Copolymers of from 65 to 75%, by weight, of α-methyl styrene and from 35 to 25%, by weight, of α-methyl styrene and from 35 to 25%, by weight, of acrylonitrile, obtainable by radical emulsion polymerization, the monomers being metered in during the course of the polymerization, wherein the molar ratio: ##EQU1## of the unreacted monomers in the reaction mixture is maintained during the metering phase between 0.7 and 1.25.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
60 words
Copolymers of from 65 to 75% by weight, of α-methyl styrene and from 35 to 25%, by weight, of acrylonitrile, obtained by radical emulsion polymerisation, in which the monomers are metered in during polymerisation, wherein the ratio (mol α-methyl styrene)(mol acrylonitrile) of the unreacted monomers found in the reaction mixture is maintained during the metering phase between 0.7 and 1.25.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
60 words
Copolymers of from 65 to 75% by weight, of α-methyl styrene and from 35 to 25%, by weight, of acrylonitrile, obtained by radical emulsion polymerisation, in which the monomers are metered in during polymerisation, wherein the ratio (mol α-methyl styrene)(mol acrylonitrile) of the unreacted monomers found in the reaction mixture is maintained during the metering phase between 0.7 and 1.25.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
25 words
Copolymers according to claim 1, which contain polymerised from 71 to 73%, by weight, of α-methyl styrene and from 29 to 27%, by weight, acrylonitrile.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
56 words
A process for producing copolymers containing from 65 to 75% by weight of copolymerized alpha-methylstyrene units and from 35 to 25% by weight of copolymerized acrylonitrile units which comprises copolymerizing alpha-methylstyrene and acrylonitrile in aqueous emulsion with a radical catalyst wherein during the polymerization a molar ratio of unreacted alpha-methylstyrene:acrylonitrile is maintained between 0.7 and 1.25.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
56 words
