A styrene copolymer composition comprising at least one alkyl acrylate
and/or at least one alkyl methacrylate wherein the styrene copolymer
composition has a bimodal molecular weight distribution. A method of
producing a styrene copolymer comprising reacting styrene and at least
one alkyl acrylate and/or at least one alkyl methacrylate, wherein the
alkyl acrylate comprises an alkyl group having from 8 to 12 carbon atoms
and the alkyl methacrylate comprises an alkyl group having equal to or
greater than 10 carbon atoms. A method of increasing the molecular weight
distribution in a styrene copolymer comprising incorporating at least one
alkyl acrylate and/or at least one alkyl methacrylate wherein the styrene
copolymer has a polydispersity index equal to or greater than 3.
