Abstract
Abstract Interpolymers having high impact strength, high softening temperature and other excellent properties result from the polymerization of an olefinic nitrile such as acrylonitrile, a vinyl aromatic monomer such as styrene, and maleimide in the presence of a conjugated diolefin elastomer.
