Abstract
Abstract The elongation at fail and toughness of rubber reinforced polystyrene and ABS type polymeric polyblends are improved without loss of tensile strength by the addition of a liquid polymer of a conjugated diene monomer having a molecular weight of from about 1,000 to 10,000. The liquid polymers may be incorporated during any stage of the process for preparing the polymeric polyblend.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 13
Claim 1
Independent Claim
127 words
A method for preparing an improved polymer polyblend composition which comprises blending a liquid polymer of a conjugated diene monomer with the polymerization product of (A) 13 to 97 parts by weight of at least one monoalkenyl aromatic monomer, (B) 0 to 85 parts by weight of at least one monoalkenyl nitrile monomer, and (C) 2 to 36 parts by weight of a diene rubber, wherein said liquid polymer is blended with said polyblend in an amount of about 0.2 to 20 parts by weight, said polymer containing groups selected from the group consisting of hydroxyl, carboxy, mercaptan, xanthate, hydrogen, aralkyl and phenyl or mixtures thereof, said groups being present at the terminal position only of said liquid polymer, the total polyblend being 100 parts by weight.
