Abstract
Abstract A graft copolymer free from polyphenylene ether homopolymers is prepared by polymerizing 20 to 200 parts by weight of a styrene type compound at a temperature in the range from 130* to 200*C in the presence of 100 parts by weight of a polyphenylene ether and 0.1 to 15 parts by weight of a radical initiator. The graft copolymer is excellent in moldability and is also useful in making films, sheets, fibers, etc.
