Method for preparing styrenic resin having high impact strength and gloss

Abstract

The present invention relates to a preparation method for acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene resin by continuous bulk polymerization comprising the following steps of a) preparing a mixed solution of styrene monomers and acrylonitrile monomers by adding 5–10 weight % of the mixture of styrene monomers and acrylonitrile monomers to a reaction solvent; b) preparing a polymerization solution by dissolving butadiene rubber in the above mixed solution of styrene monomers and acrylonitrile monomers; c) polymerizing with a serial injection of the prepared polymerization solution and initiator in a grafting reactor; d) polymerizing the reaction solution of the above c) in a phase inversion reactor by adding 90–95 weight % of the total mixture of styrene monomers and acrylonitrile monomers thereto; and e) polymerizing further the reaction solution of the above step d) at 130–160° C. The resin prepared by the method of the present invention thus has excellent impact strength and gloss.
