Process for the preparation of random copolymers of conjugated dienes and vinyl aromatic compounds

摘要

A process for the preparation of a random copolymer of at least one conjugated diene and at least one vinyl aromatic compound comprising reacting the monomers with the aid of an initiator based on lithium in the presence of an essentially inert solvent wherein said solvent consists of at least 60 per cent by weight of cyclopentane and the heat of reaction is withdrawn by means of reflux cooling.
