The emulsion polymerizations of butadiene and styrene and of butadiene alone have been studied at temperature of 90–160°. The effects of changes in catalysts, modifiers, times of polymerization, and other variables have been investigated. The rate of polymerization at 110° is markedly increased over that at 50° and the final product is a less modified and less processable polymer. However, the standard evaluation and road tests indicate this polymer may be a useful one.
