Abstract

Abstract Certain rigid plastics are reinforced by admixture with a plurality of rubber-containing interpolymer particles which are prepared by the suspension polymerization of vinyl chloride in the presence of an aqueous emulsion of particles comprising a crosslinked acrylic rubber having a Tg of less than about 25 DEG C. The resulting reinforced plastics display excellent physical properties.
