Abstract
Abstract A thermoplastic composition containing polymethacrylonitrile and polybutadiene which is (1) a graft copolymer comprising a superstrate of a methacrylonitrile polymer and a substrate of a diene rubber, (2) a blend of such a graft copolymer with a compatible resin, or (3) a blend of methacrylonitrile polymer with a compatible graft comprising a substrate of a diene rubber and a superstrate containing for example 45 to 90% (preferably 60 to 85%) molar of acrylonitrile copolymerised with 10 to 55% (preferably 15 to 40%) molar of at least one ethylenically unsaturated monomer.
