Abstract

Random monoalkenyl arene-conjugated diene copolymers are produced by controlling the continuous rate of addition of the conjugated diene monomer to a reactor containing the monoalkenyl arene monomer, organolithium initiator and solvent, the rate being adjusted in response to the photometer measured presence of an active chromophore comprising a lithium ion directly associated with a poly(monoalkenyl arene) carbanion.
