Abstract
Abstract A thermoplastic composition which comprises a blend comprising 20 to 80% by weight of a polycarbonate resin and 80 to 20% by weight of a graft polymer obtained by grafting at least one aromatic vinyl compound and at least one of vinyl cyanides and alkyl unsaturated carboxylates onto a conjugated diene rubber or its mixture with a copolymer of at least one aromatic vinyl compound and at least one of vinyl cyanides and alky unsaturated carboxylates in an amount of not more than 90% by weight on the basis of the combined amount of the graft polymer and the copolymer, and a polyolefin or a plasticizer having a light transmission of not less than 70% when determined on the film of 20 microns in thickness prepared by the use of a solution of the plasticizer (0.25 g) and acrylonitrile-styrene copolymer (weight ratio of acrylonitrile and styrene, 30:70; 0.75 g) in acetone (10 ml), the weight proportion of the blend and the polyolefin or the plasticizer being 100:0.2-20. The resulting composition is excellent in solvent resistance, welding strength, impact resistance, molding property, etc.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
207 words
A thermoplastic composition having improved weld strength which comprises a blend essentially consisting of: (A) 20 to 80% by weight based on the weight of A and B of a thermoplastic polycarbonate resin; (B) 80 to 20% by weight based on the weight of A and B of a graft polymer obtained by grafting at least one aromatic vinyl compound and at least one member of the group consisting of vinyl cyanides and alkyl unsaturated carboxylates onto a conjugated diene rubber or a mixture of a conjugated diene rubber with a copolymer of at least one aromatic vinyl compound and at least one member of the group consisting of vinyl cyanides and alkyl unsaturated carboxylates, the copolymer being present in an amount of not more than 90% by weight on the basis of the combined amount of the graft polymer and the copolymer; and (C) a polyolefin or a plasticizer having a light transmission of not less than 70% when determined on a 20 micron film prepared from a solution of the plasticizer (0.25 g) and acrylonitrile-styrene copolymer (weight ratio of acrylonitrile and styrene, 30:70; 0.75 g) in acetone (10 ml), the weight proportion of the blend, (A)+(B), and the polyolefin or the plasticizer (C) being 100:0.2-20.
