Case No. 08-12-0423 A PROCESS FOR THE CONTINUOUS MASS POLYMERIZATION OF POLYBLENDS ABSTRACT OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to an improved pro- cess for the continuous mass polymerization of solutions comprising alkenyl aromatic monomers having about 1 to 10% by weight of a polybutadiene rubber dissolved therein, the steps comprising, (A) continuously charging said solu- tion to a first reaction zone operating at about 20 to 45% conversion forming a first partially polymerized mix- ture, (B) continuously charging said first mixture to a second reaction zone operating at about 50-85% conver- sion forming a second partially polymerized mixture, and finally, (C) separating the residual monomer from said second mixture providing a polyblend of a matrix phase of said monomers having polybutadiene rubber particles grafted with said monomers dispersed therein, the improve- ment comprising: charging a monomer-polybutadiene solution in step (A) having in addition about 1 to 10% by weight of a diene block copolymer and about 1 to 20% by weight of a polymer of said monomers dissolved in said solution followed by carrying out steps (B) and (C) to provide a polyblend of a polymer of said monomers having dispersed therein rubber particles grafted with said monomers, said rubber particles containing said polybutadiene and diene block copolymer rubbers and forming a gel phase of said rubber particles containing grafted and occluded poly- mers of said monomers in an amount of about 0.5 to 5 parts per part of total rubber.
