Abstract
A process for polymerizing a styrene monomer or a styrene monomer having a rubber-like polymer dissolved therein by using, as the catalyst, an organic peroxide of the formula ##STR1## where R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 are the same or different radicals selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, alkyl radicals of from 1 to 5 carbon atoms, and phenyl. Preferably, the polymerization is continuously carried out by bulk or solution polymerization while the reaction mixture present in the polymerization zone is kept in such a mixed state as to make it substantially homogeneous.
