Abstract
Abstract Thermoplastic blends having high heat distortion temperature and impact strength comprise 10-90 weight percent of a polyglutarimide, and 90-10 weight percent of a rubber-modified vinyl chloride resin prepared by polymerization of vinyl chloride in the presence of 2 to 50 percent of a rubber to form a graft copolymer.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 16
Claim 1
Independent Claim
111 words
A thermoplastic blend comprising: 10-90 percent by weight of a olyglutarimide prepared by reacting an acrylic polymer with an aminating agent selected from the group consisting of ammonia and an amine selected from the group consisting of alkyl and aryl amines containing 1 to 20 carbon atoms; and 90-100 percent by weight of a rubber-modified vinyl chloride resin prepared by polymerization of vinyl chloride in the presence of 2 to 50 percent, based on the weight of the resin, of a rubber to form a graft copolymer, which rubber-modified vinyl chloride resin contains 0-80 percent by weight of an unmodified vinyl chloride resin, based on the total weight of the resin.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
111 words
A thermoplastic blend comprising: 10-90 percent by weight of a olyglutarimide prepared by reacting an acrylic polymer with an aminating agent selected from the group consisting of ammonia and an amine selected from the group consisting of alkyl and aryl amines containing 1 to 20 carbon atoms; and 90-100 percent by weight of a rubber-modified vinyl chloride resin prepared by polymerization of vinyl chloride in the presence of 2 to 50 percent, based on the weight of the resin, of a rubber to form a graft copolymer, which rubber-modified vinyl chloride resin contains 0-80 percent by weight of an unmodified vinyl chloride resin, based on the total weight of the resin.
