Disclosed are blends of polystyrene and at least one of syndiotactic
polypropylene, ethylene propylene copolymers, and
styrene-butadiene-styrene triblock copolymers. These blends are prepared
using solution polymerization and have unique morphologies and desirable
physical properties. The blends can also be prepared with graft-promoting
or crosslinking agents and rubbers to prepare modified high impact
polystyrene.
