Embodiments of the present invention include a branched aromatic ionomer, and a process of making it, by co-polymerizing a first monomer comprising an aromatic moiety and an unsaturated alkyl moiety and a second monomer represented by the general formula:[R-A]-Mwherein R is a hydrocarbon chain having from 2 to 40 carbons and at least one polymerizable unsaturation; A is an anionic group; M is a cationic group; Z is −1 or −2; X is +1, +2, +3, +4, or +5; and y is an integer having a value of from 1 to 4. The branched aromatic ionomer has a melt flow index ranging from 1. 0 g/10 min. to 13 g/10 min. Optionally the melt flow index ranges from 1. 3 g/10 min. to 1. 9 g/10 min.

A monovinylidene aromatic polymer with a melt flow index of at least 7 g/10 min and a Vicat softening temperature of at least 200 F. may be useful for injection molding with reduced cycle time. The monovinylidene aromatic polymer may be general purpose polystyrene or high impact polystyrene. It may include reduced amounts of mineral oil and increased amounts of an additive such as zinc dimethacrylate to optimize its processability and mechanical characteristics.
