Abstract
Abstract The present invention relates to thermoplastic moulding compositions, which have improved impact strength at low temperature, comprising thermoplastic polyesters, in particular polyalkylene terephthalates, and grafted, partially or highly cross-linked diene rubbers and/or acrylate rubbers having a bimodal rubber particle size distribution.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim
205 words
Thermoplastic moulding compositions comprising (A) from 65 to 97% by weight (based on A+B) of thermoplastic polyester and (B) from 3 to 35% by weight (based on A+B) of the graft product of at least one vinyl monomer selected from styrene, acrylonitrile and methyl methacrylate on particle-shaped, at least partially cross-linked diene rubbers and/or alkyl acrylate rubbers having an average rubber particle diameter of from 0.05 to 1 μm, the graft products having a rubber content of from 60 to 85%, by weight, characterised in that the graft products B are produced on the basis of a mixture of a. from 20 to 80% by weight (based on a+b) of a rubber latex having a particle diameter d 50 of from 0.05 to 0.19 μm, and b. from 80 to 20% by weight (based on a+b) of a rubber latex having a particle diameter d 50 of from 0.2 to 1.0 μm with the limitation that (1) d 50 (b) is larger than d 50 (a) by a factor of from 1.5 to 8, (2) the quotient Q=(d 90 -d 10 )/d 50 of the particular rubbers is at most 2, and (3) the difference d 10 (b)-d 90 (a) is from 0.01 to -0.10.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
205 words
Thermoplastic moulding compositions comprising (A) from 65 to 97% by weight (based on A+B) of thermoplastic polyester and (B) from 3 to 35% by weight (based on A+B) of the graft product of at least one vinyl monomer selected from styrene, acrylonitrile and methyl methacrylate on particle-shaped, at least partially cross-linked diene rubbers and/or alkyl acrylate rubbers having an average rubber particle diameter of from 0.05 to 1 μm, the graft products having a rubber content of from 60 to 85%, by weight, characterised in that the graft products B are produced on the basis of a mixture of a. from 20 to 80% by weight (based on a+b) of a rubber latex having a particle diameter d 50 of from 0.05 to 0.19 μm, and b. from 80 to 20% by weight (based on a+b) of a rubber latex having a particle diameter d 50 of from 0.2 to 1.0 μm with the limitation that (1) d 50 (b) is larger than d 50 (a) by a factor of from 1.5 to 8, (2) the quotient Q=(d 90 -d 10 )/d 50 of the particular rubbers is at most 2, and (3) the difference d 10 (b)-d 90 (a) is from 0.01 to -0.10.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
38 words
Thermoplastic moulding compositions according to claim 1, characterised in that the graft product B is produced by mixing a rubber latex corresponding to (a) and a rubber latex corresponding to (b) and subsequently graft polymerising the vinyl monomers.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
55 words
Thermoplastic moulding compositions according to claim 1, characterised in that the graft product B is produced by graft polymerising the vinyl monomers on a rubber latex corresponding to (a) and separately graft polymerising the vinyl monomers on a rubber latex corresponding to (b) and subsequently mixing the graft products which are obtained in this way.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
26 words
Thermoplastic moulding compositions according to claim 1, characterised in that the diene rubbers or the alkyl acrylate rubbers have a gel content of ≧80% by weight.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
19 words
Thermoplastic moulding compositions according to claim 1, characterised in that the alkyl acrylate-rubbers are cross-linked with triallylcyanurate and/or triallylisocyanurate.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
17 words
Thermoplastic moulding compositions according to claim 1, characterised in that the alkyl acrylate-rubbers contain a polybutadiene core.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
38 words
Thermoplastic moulding compositions according to claim 1, characterised in that they contain free copolymer resin of graft monomers in a quantity of ≦15% by weight and have a Staudinger index [η]≦0.6 dl/g, measured in DMF at 25° C.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
23 words
Thermoplastic moulding compositions according to claim 1, characterised in that up to 80% by weight of the thermoplastic polyesters A are aromatic polycarbonates.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
