Abstract

A process for preparing rubber modified high impact resins by dissolving a rubbery polymer in a monomer containing an aromatic vinyl monomer or a mixture of an aromatic vinyl monomer and a vinyl cyanide monomer followed by polymerizing the monomer, the two steps being carried out in at least two polymerization reactors with a particle disperser placed between the first and second reactors. High impact resins having excellent surface properties are obtained with a savings in a power consumption by controlling: PA1 (1) the relationship between the concentration of the polymerized monomer and the content of the rubbery polymer in the first reactor; PA1 (2) the relationship between the volume occupied by the polymerizing liquid in the first reactor and the inner volume of the particle disperser; and PA1 (3) the peripheral linear velocity of a shearing stirrer in the particle disperser.
