Abstract
A method for making a syndiotactic vinylaromatic polymer. The method includes mixing a first amount of a vinylaromatic monomer with a catalyst in a first back-mixed reaction zone under polymerization conditions such that the vinylaromatic monomer polymerizes to a conversion of from 60 to 85 percent to form a polymer-containing mixture. The polymer-containing mixture is passed to at least one other back-mixed reaction zone where it contacts a second amount of the vinylaromatic monomer under polymerization conditions such that the syndiotactic vinylaromatic polymer is formed.
