Abstract
Abstract A thermoplastic molding composition having good low temperature properties, low distortion at paint bake temperatures, and overall shrinkage similar to shrinkage of thermoplastic olefins comprises the blend of a selectively hydrogenated monoalkenyl arene-conjugated diene block copolymer, a vinyl aromatic-α, β-unsaturated cyclic anhydride copolymer, a polycarbonate, and a saturated diblock copolymer.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
159 words
A thermoplastic molding composition comprising: (a) from about 10 to about 85 percent by weight of a selectively hydrogenated block copolymer comprising at least two monoalkenyl arene polymer end blocks A and at least one substantially completely hydrogenated conjugated diene polymer mid block B, the weight percent of blocks A comprising between 8 and 65 percent by weight of said block copolymers wherein at least 80% of the aliphatic double bonds in block B are hydrogenated and no more than about 25% of the alkenyl aromatic double bonds in block A are hydrogenated; (b) from about 10 to about 80 percent by weight of a vinyl aromatic copolymer comprising a vinyl aromatic compound and an α, β-unsaturated cyclic anhydride; and (c) from about 10 to about 80 percent by weight of a polycarbonate; (d) from about 0 to about 50 percent by weight of a hydrogenated diblock copolymer comprising a monoalkenyl arene polymer and a hydrogenated conjugated diene polymer.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
159 words
A thermoplastic molding composition comprising: (a) from about 10 to about 85 percent by weight of a selectively hydrogenated block copolymer comprising at least two monoalkenyl arene polymer end blocks A and at least one substantially completely hydrogenated conjugated diene polymer mid block B, the weight percent of blocks A comprising between 8 and 65 percent by weight of said block copolymers wherein at least 80% of the aliphatic double bonds in block B are hydrogenated and no more than about 25% of the alkenyl aromatic double bonds in block A are hydrogenated; (b) from about 10 to about 80 percent by weight of a vinyl aromatic copolymer comprising a vinyl aromatic compound and an α, β-unsaturated cyclic anhydride; and (c) from about 10 to about 80 percent by weight of a polycarbonate; (d) from about 0 to about 50 percent by weight of a hydrogenated diblock copolymer comprising a monoalkenyl arene polymer and a hydrogenated conjugated diene polymer.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
17 words
The composition of claim 1 wherein said selectively hydrogenated block copolymer is a linear ABA block copolymer.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
32 words
