Abstract
A styrene base random copolymer having a weight average molecular weight of 200,000 to 1,000,000, a monovinylbenzene unit and a divinylbenzene unit in an amount of 50 to 500 ppm by weight based on the weight of the monovinylbenzene unit, the divinylbenzene unit consisting of p-divinylbenzene unit and m-divinylbenzene unit, wherein the weight ratio between the p-divinylbenzene unit and the m-divinylbenzene unit is in the range of 100:0 to 75:25, which is superior in impact strength, melt tension, heat resistance and fluidity, and which is capable of being molded within a short molding cycle, is industrially advantageously produced by a continuous bulk polymerization without troubles such as undesirable deposits of polymeric gel material on reactor walls.
