Process for purification of styrenic polymer.

摘要

There is disclosed a process for purifying a styrene polymer which comprises subjecting a highly syntiotactic styrene polymer which is produced by the use of a catalyst composition of (A) an aluminoxane or a specific coordination complex compound and (B) a transition metal compound to deashing treatment at the glass transition temperature of the styrene polymer or higher. The process is capable of efficiently deashing the styrene polymer produced by polymerizing a styrene monomer at a high concentration with a high conversion efficiency. Accordingly, the process greatly improves the productivity of highly pure styrene polymer.
