The radiation vulcanized natural rubbrer (RVNR) technique was used for the preparation of toughened polystyrene. The phase transfer method separated rubber from aqueous phase and the amount of surfactant used played an important role in the determination of surface charge. Bulk polymerization was used for the preparation of toughened PS and the deproteinized RVNR was embedded in the PS.Mahidol UniversityChemistryMaterials ScienceArticleSCOPUS10.1002/1097-4628(20001121)78:8<1505::AID-APP60>3.0.CO;2-3
