Abstract

Expandable vinyl aromatic polymers are produced, which exhibit fast-cool properties upon formation of foamed articles therefrom, by polymerizing a vinyl aromatic monomer, in which is dissolved 0.5-4.0 percent, based on the monomer, of a triblock copolymer rubber of 2-50 percent of polymerized vinyl aromatic monomer and 50-98 percent conjugated diene, the polymerization forming vinyl aromatic polymer containing the triblock copolymer rubber, and impregnating the polymer so produced, with a blowing agent.
