Abstract
In order to improve the low impact resistance of polystyrene without harming its transparency the styrene monomer was copolymerized with transparent butyl acrylate (BA), and methylmethacrylate (MMA) to obtained a poly(styrene-co-butylacrylate) P(SM-co-BA) and a terpolymer copolymer P(SM-co-BA-co-MMA). The polymers were then cross-linked with the aid of a cross-linking agent dicumylperoxide (DCP), and their mechanical and optical properties were tested. It was found that the contents of monomers and DCP affect the mechanical, thermal, and optical properties of the polymers. An increase in BA contents in P(SM-co-BA) and P(SM-BA-MMA) improved the mechanical strength, but the optical properties remained the same with some exception for P(SM-co-BA). An increase in the DCP contents improved the mechanical but found losses in the optical properties.
