Abstract

Copolymers of .alpha.-methylstyrene and acrylonitrile having improved composition of uniformity are prepared by emulsion polymerizing a first monomer stream having a weight ratio of .alpha.-methylstyrene/acrylonitrile from about 75/25 to about 85/15 and thereafter polymerizing a second monomer feed stream comprising acrylonitrile.
