Abstract
Abstract Compositions which contain a blend of: A. A FIRST GRAFT COPOLYMER COMPOSITION DERIVED FROM THE GRAFT COPOLYMERIZATION OF A DIENE-BASED RUBBER WITH, FOR EXAMPLE, ACRYLONITRILE AND STYRENE, WHERE THE RUBBER HAS A MAJORITY OF ITS PARTICLES IN THE SIZE RANGE OF ABOUT 0.8 TO ABOUT 10 MICRON, B. A SECOND GRAFT COPOLYMER COMPOSITION WHICH HAS A MAJORITY OF ITS PARTICLES IN THE SIZE RANGE OF 0.005 TO ABOUT 0.6 MICRON, AND C. 1 TO 10 PARTS BY WEIGHT OF AN EPOXIDIZED SOYBEAN OIL OR A MONO- OR DISUBSTITUTED PHTHALIC ACID ESTER, E.G., DIOCTYL PHTHALATE, HAVE BEEN BEEN FOUND TO HAVE MUCH HIGHER Izod impact strengths at a given melt flow range than similar blends that do not contain the epoxidized soybean oil or phthalic acid ester for the same total rubber concentration in the blend.
