Abstract
Abstract High impact polystyrene compositions are prepared by the intimate melt mixing of a styrene polymer and a particular AB two-block copolymer. The A block is a polymer of a monoalkenyl arene having a specified molecular weight range and the B block is a butadiene polymer block having a 1,2 vinyl content of greater than about 20 percent.
