According to the high-strength resin and the preparation method thereof, firstly,
styrene-
divinylbenzene copolymerization reaction or
divinylbenzene polymerization reaction which is carried out under common normal pressure is promoted to be carried out under
high pressure of 0.3-0.6 MPa, so that the
polymerization reaction temperature can be increased; therefore, the reaction activity of
polystyrene and
styrene free radicals or
divinylbenzene free radicals is improved, the average molecular weight of a
polystyrene main chain or a polydivinylbenzene main chain in the
polymer is further improved, and the molecular
weight distribution dispersity is reduced; secondly, a free
radical initiator is not added, and the structural defect caused by tiny bubbles generated by
decomposition of the initiator is also eliminated; thirdly,
nitrogen is charged for deoxidation before
polymerization reaction, free radical terminator
oxygen is removed, free radical inactivation caused by dissolved
oxygen is avoided, and chain growth and termination of a main molecular chain are avoided. The
styrene resin beads with high polymerization degree are prepared, and the
mechanical strength of the synthesized anion-cation exchange resin and adsorption resin is greatly improved.
