temperature, 0.1 to 600 torr, preferably 100 to 50
By stirring at a pressure of 0 torr, more preferably 150 to 35 torr, the content of unreacted substances, solvents, etc. in the styrenic polymer can be reduced to 0.5 to 50% by weight, preferably 0.5 to 35% by weight. Degas until it becomes 30% by weight. If the temperature is below 150°C, the viscosity of the styrene reactant increases, resulting in high load and high shear, which is not preferable. On the other hand, if the temperature exceeds 300°C, depolymerization occurs, which is not preferable. Particularly in the case of copolymers, the degree of crosslinking increases and impact resistance decreases, which is not preferable. Also, when the pressure is less than 0.1 torr, especially in the case of copolymers,
This is undesirable as it leads to the destruction of the salami structure of the rubber component.
) If the amount exceeds the total amount, the degassing efficiency will decrease and productivity will be poor. If the content of unreacted substances, solvent, etc. is less than 0.5% by weight in the degassing treatment in the first degassing section, the crosslinking reaction will be particularly difficult to proceed and the impact resistance will deteriorate. On the other hand, 50% by weight
If the degassing treatment exceeds 100%, the crosslinking reaction will proceed excessively, resulting in a decrease in the physical properties of the polymer.

If the temperature is below 200°C, the viscosity of the styrene polymerization reaction product will increase and the degassing efficiency will decrease. On the other hand, if the temperature exceeds 300°C, thermal deterioration will occur, which is not preferable. Furthermore, if the pressure is 50 torr or more, the saturation concentration of unreacted substances, solvent, etc. will increase, and as a result, the degassing effect will decrease, and unreacted substances, solvent, etc. will remain. If deaeration treatment is performed in this first and second degassing section in such a way that the content of unreacted substances, solvent, etc. This is undesirable because it causes poor appearance (silver, flash) and deteriorates mechanical properties.

[Claims] 1. A post-treatment method for removing unreacted substances, solvents, etc. from a styrene polymerization reaction product after the completion of a polymerization reaction, which comprises a heating mechanism, and further includes at least two rotary shafts on each of a plurality of rotating shafts. The styrene-based polymerization reaction product is sequentially introduced into a first degassing section equipped with a stirring mechanism in which several stirring blades are fixed, and a second degassing section equipped with a heating means by shearing action and a stirring means for thin film evaporation. An antioxidant is supplied to either or both of the first degassing section and the second degassing section to bring them into contact with the styrenic polymerization reaction product, and the temperature in the first degassing section is 150 to 300°C; Stirring is performed under pressure conditions of 0.1 to 600 torr to degas unreacted substances, solvent, etc. until the content in the styrenic polymer becomes 0.5 to 50% by weight. At a temperature of 200-300℃ and a pressure of 5
Stirring is carried out under conditions of 0 Torr or less to remove unreacted substances, solvents, etc. such that the content of such substances in the ;/- system polymer is 1% by weight or less. A post-treatment method for styrenic polymerization reactants. 2. The method according to claim 1, wherein the antioxidant is a phenolic compound. 3. The method according to claim 1, wherein a peeling plate is provided at the tip of the stirring blade in the first degassing section, and is perpendicular to the stirring blade.
