The invention discloses a
styrene-
maleic anhydride-nitrophenyl
maleimide terpolymer and a preparation method thereof. The terpolymer is characterized by comprising the following components by weight percentage: 50-90 parts of
styrene, 1-20 parts of
maleic anhydride, and 10-30 parts of nitrophenyl
maleimide. The
glass transition temperature is 150-200DEG C, a
bulk polymerization way is employed forpreparation, firstly part of the
styrene is added into a reaction kettle, then a styrene solution with dissolved
maleic anhydride and nitrophenyl
maleimide is added dropwise into the reaction kettle,the temperature of the reaction kettle is 90-140DEG C, and the pressure is
atmospheric pressure, after reaction to a certain degree, high temperature vacuum devolatilization is carried out to obtainthe terpolymer. Compared with the prior art, the preparation method provided by the invention has the advantages of simple process, no waste water, and environment-friendly production process, and theprepared product has high purity, and is suitable for use as a low
odor and
low emission heat resistant agent for vehicle ABS and household appliance ABS.
