Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 16
Claim 1
Independent Claim
130 words
A polymer composition comprising: a copolymer of a monovinyl aromatic compound and an anhydride of an ethylenically unsaturated dicarboxylic acid, and a vinyl halide polyolefin graft polymer wherein the vinyl halide alone or in combination with up to 50 percent by weight based on the total weight of monomer of an ethylenically unsaturated compound copolymerizable therewith, and in the liquid state, is polymerized with a polyolefin which comprises a polymer of an aliphatic hydrocarbon monoolefin of 2 to about 8 carbon atoms, and which is in the solid state and is substantially insoluble in the monomer but absorbs a substantial amount of the monomer wherein the proportion of polyolefin in said graft polymer is greater than about 20 up to 80 weight precent based on the weight of the monomer.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
130 words
A polymer composition comprising: a copolymer of a monovinyl aromatic compound and an anhydride of an ethylenically unsaturated dicarboxylic acid, and a vinyl halide polyolefin graft polymer wherein the vinyl halide alone or in combination with up to 50 percent by weight based on the total weight of monomer of an ethylenically unsaturated compound copolymerizable therewith, and in the liquid state, is polymerized with a polyolefin which comprises a polymer of an aliphatic hydrocarbon monoolefin of 2 to about 8 carbon atoms, and which is in the solid state and is substantially insoluble in the monomer but absorbs a substantial amount of the monomer wherein the proportion of polyolefin in said graft polymer is greater than about 20 up to 80 weight precent based on the weight of the monomer.
