Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim
151 words
A thermoplastic molding composition comprising a blend of an aromatic polycarbonate resin and an impact modifying amount of a compound containing an acrylate or a methacrylate functionality and characterized in that its glass transition temperature is below 20° C., said blend further containing an amount of a stabilizer conforming to ##STR7## wherein R' is an alkylhydroxyphenyl carboalkoxy group having the formula ##STR8## wherein n is an integer of from 1 to 12 and wherein m denotes an integer of from 0 to 8, R is a hydrogen atom or a C 1 -C 12 hydrocarbon radical, R" and R'" are the same as R' or are a hydrogn atom or a C 1 -C 20 hydrocarbon radical such as alkyl, cycloalkyl, aryl, alkaryl or a C 1 -C 12 aralkyl, a hydroxyalkyl or a C 2 -C 20 alkylcarboalkoxy group, said amount of a stabilizer being sufficient to substantially eliminate splay.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
151 words
A thermoplastic molding composition comprising a blend of an aromatic polycarbonate resin and an impact modifying amount of a compound containing an acrylate or a methacrylate functionality and characterized in that its glass transition temperature is below 20° C., said blend further containing an amount of a stabilizer conforming to ##STR7## wherein R' is an alkylhydroxyphenyl carboalkoxy group having the formula ##STR8## wherein n is an integer of from 1 to 12 and wherein m denotes an integer of from 0 to 8, R is a hydrogen atom or a C 1 -C 12 hydrocarbon radical, R" and R'" are the same as R' or are a hydrogn atom or a C 1 -C 20 hydrocarbon radical such as alkyl, cycloalkyl, aryl, alkaryl or a C 1 -C 12 aralkyl, a hydroxyalkyl or a C 2 -C 20 alkylcarboalkoxy group, said amount of a stabilizer being sufficient to substantially eliminate splay.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
41 words
The composition of claim 1 wherein said blend contains about 80 to about 99 percent of said aromatic polycarbonate resin and about 1 to about 20 percent of said compound, said percentages being in relation to the weight of the blend.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
29 words
The composition of claim 1 wherein said amount of said stabilizer is about 0.05 to about 0.5 phr, said phr being in relation to the weight of said blend.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
12 words
The composition of claim 3 wherein said stabilizer conforms structurally to ##STR9##
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
90 words
The composition of claim 1 wherein said compound is a multiple stage polymer comprising about 25 to 95 percent by weight of a first elastomeric phase and about 75 to 5 percent by weight of a second, rigid thermoplastic phase, said first elastomeric phase being polymerized from about 75 to 99.8 percent by weight of C 1 -C 6 acrylate which is cross-linked with 0.1 to 5 percent by weight of a cross-linking monomer and to which is added 0.1 to 5 percent by weight of a graft linking monomer.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
11 words
The composition of claim 5 wherein said acrylate is n-butyl acrylate.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
15 words
The composition of claim 6 wherein said rigid thermoplastic phase is based on methyl methacrylate.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
47 words
The composition of claim 7 wherein said n-butyl acrylate relates by weight to said cross-linking monomer and to said graft linking monomer and to said rigid thermoplastic phase as about 79.2/0.4/0.4/20.0 and wherein said cross-linking monomer is 1,3-butylene diacrylate and said graft linking monomer is diallyl maleate.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
65 words
The composition of claim 8 wherein said blend contains about 80 to about 99 percent of said aromatic polycarbonate resin and about 1 to about 20 percent of said compound, said percentages being in relation to the weight of said blend, said composition further comprising about 0.05 to about 0.5 phr of said stabilizer, said phr being in relation to the weight of said blend.
