Abstract
A process for producing a resin having a high heat resistance with a high polymerization conversion by emulsion-polymerizing .alpha.-methylstyrene (AMS), methyl methacrylate (MMA) and acrylonitrile (AN), characterized in that the polymerization is conducted in two steps; A monomer mixture consisting of 60-85% by weight of AMS, 2-30% by weight of MMA and 5-20% by weight of AN is subjected to copolymerization in the first step until 25-85% by weight, based on the weight of the final copolymer, of a copolymer is formed, and in the second step, at least one monomer of the above three monomers is added to the polymerization system to adjust the composition ratio of the three monomers in the polymerization system so as to fall in the region surrounded by the lines connecting points A, B, C, D and E in the triangular coordinate graph indicating the quantitative relationship of the three monomers, and the resulting monomer mixture is subjected to polymerization conditions to complete the polymerization.
