Abstract
This invention discloses a process for the nonaqueous dispersion polymerization of butadiene monomer in a reaction mixture containing a liquid nonaqueous dispersion medium, a catalyst system, butadiene monomer, and at least one polymeric dispersing agent, the improvement which comprises carrying out the polymerization of the butadiene monomer in the presence of the reaction product of (1) an alkylbenzene sulfonic acid wherein said alkyl moiety contains from 6 to 20 carbon atoms and (2) a polyalkylene amine that contains from 6 to 20 carbon atoms and 2 to 8 amine moieties. The presence of a small amount of this reaction product very substantially reduces the amount of polymeric dispersing agent needed in such a polymerization.
