Abstract 1. A convenient laboratory procedure for the sodium-catalyzed copolymerization of butadiene and styrene has been described. Earlier attempts to accomplish this probably failed because the monomers were not sufficiently pure. 2. The copolymer of butadiene and styrene which results from sodium polymerization is different from the emulsion copolymer, GR-S, in several important respects. The sodium-catalyzed copolymer has a more nearly constant styrene content at different stages of conversion; it is made up of molecules with a relatively narrow molecular weight spread; it has a higher intrinsic viscosity; it is 100 per cent soluble in benzene (i.e., there is no gel) even at 100 per cent conversion; when treated with standard rubber antioxidant, it ages better; and it has a greater amount of the butadiene joined in the 1,2 manner (i.e., greater vinyl side-chain content). 3. The effects of such variables as temperature of polymerization, method of adding the monomer mixture to the catalyst, size of catalyst particles, and possible butadiene impurities on the polymerization have been studied. 4. The method has been extended to cover copolymerization of butadiene and m-methylstyrene to give a soluble copolymer of low molecular weight. Other styrene-type monomers gave less interesting copolymers.
