Abstract
The present invention relates to a polymerization process for preparing syndiotactic polystyrenes, which comprises a step of microfluidizing in a microfluidization apparatus both a catalyst mixture consisting of a styrene monomer, a metallocene catalyst and an inert organic solvent and a cocatalyst mixture consisting of a styrene monomer, a cocatalyst and an inert organic solvent, and a step of reacting the microfluidized mixture with a catalyst and a cocatalyst in a reactor. The metallocene catalyst has a bridged structure of a complex of Group IV transition metals such as Ti, Zr, Hf etc. in the Periodic Table and a ligand having one or two cycloalkane dienyl groups such as cyclopentadienyl group, indenyl groups, fluorenyl group, and derivatives thereof. The reactor is a well stirred reactor equipped with agitating blades therein to mix the reactants well. In this invention, the plural number of reactors can be employed in series for more effective polymerization, and the plural number of microfluidization apparatuses can be employed in parallel.
