Abstract
Abstract A thermoplastic resin composition having excellent impact resistance, heat distortion resistance and processability which comprises an aromatic polycarbonate and a thermoplastic resin prepared by polymerizing a monomer mixture containing mainly acrylonitrile and styrene in the presence of a diene rubber, adding alpha -methylstyrene or a monomer mixture containing mainly alpha -methylstyrene to the system, and continuing the polymerization, while gradually adding acrylonitrile or a monomer mixture containing mainly acrylonitrile.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
178 words
A composition comprising (I) a thermoplastic resin and (II) an aromatic polycarbonate in a (I)/(II) ratio of 90/10 to 40/60 by weight, said resin (I) being prepared by polymerizing 95 to 70 parts by weight of monomers in the presence of 5 to 30 parts by weight of diene rubber by a process which comprises polymerizing 2 to 40 parts by weight of (A) a monomer mixture containing at least 70% by weight of acrylonitrile and styrene in an acrylonitrile/styrene ratio of 10/90 to 40/60 by weight in the presence of the diene rubber, adding 50 to 90 parts by weight of (B) α-methylstyrene or a monomer mixture containing at least 80% by weight of α-methylstyrene to the polymerization system, and gradually adding (C) acrylonitrile or a monomer mixture containing at least 70% by weight of acrylonitrile to the system, while carrying out the polymerization, the ratio of the total weight of α-methylstyrene contained in the monomers (B) and (C) to the total weight of acrylonitrile contained in the monomers (B) and (C) being from 90/10 to 65/35.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
178 words
A composition comprising (I) a thermoplastic resin and (II) an aromatic polycarbonate in a (I)/(II) ratio of 90/10 to 40/60 by weight, said resin (I) being prepared by polymerizing 95 to 70 parts by weight of monomers in the presence of 5 to 30 parts by weight of diene rubber by a process which comprises polymerizing 2 to 40 parts by weight of (A) a monomer mixture containing at least 70% by weight of acrylonitrile and styrene in an acrylonitrile/styrene ratio of 10/90 to 40/60 by weight in the presence of the diene rubber, adding 50 to 90 parts by weight of (B) α-methylstyrene or a monomer mixture containing at least 80% by weight of α-methylstyrene to the polymerization system, and gradually adding (C) acrylonitrile or a monomer mixture containing at least 70% by weight of acrylonitrile to the system, while carrying out the polymerization, the ratio of the total weight of α-methylstyrene contained in the monomers (B) and (C) to the total weight of acrylonitrile contained in the monomers (B) and (C) being from 90/10 to 65/35.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
23 words
The composition of claim 1, wherein the diene rubber is selected from the group consisting of butadiene rubber, styrene-butadiene rubber, and isoprene rubber.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
48 words
The composition of claim 1, wherein during the period till the polymerization conversion of α-methystyrene reaches 40%, the monomer (C) is added to the polymerization system at a rate such that the ratio of α-methylstyrene to acrylonitrile present in the system is not less than 90/10 by weight.
