Abstract

Diene-styrene-.alpha.-methylstyrene block polymers are prepared by polymerization in excess .alpha.-methylstyrene with a lithium initiator wherein styrene-.alpha.-methylstyrene block is polymerized at a temperature from about 20.degree. centigrade to about 160.degree. centigrade with the ratio of styrene to .alpha.-methylstyrene being from about 50 to 1 to about 1 to 50.
