Polyetherimide-acrylate copolymer blends

Abstract

Disclosed are blends of (a) a polyetherimide and (b) a minor amount of an acrylate copolymer of C.sub.1 -C.sub.5 acrylate and C.sub.1 -C.sub.5 methacrylate. These blends have a higher impact strength than that associated with the polyetherimide component of the blends. In addition, the blends exhibit improved extrusion and molding performance characteristics over those of the polyetherimide component of the blend when molded alone.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
