Abstract
Polymer alloys containing copolymers of methylmethacrylate/N-phenylmaleimide are disclosed. In one embodiment the polymer alloy is an alloy of methylmethacrylate/N-phenylmaleimide and styrene/maleic anhydride. In another embodiment, the polymer alloy is an alloy of methylmethacrylate/N-phenylmaleimide and styrene/maleic anhydride/N-phenylmaleimide.
Claims1
A polymer alloy comprising a first graft polymer, a second polymer, and a third polymer, wherein
- (a) the first graft polymer is a random copolymer chemically grafted to a rubber wherein the copolymer is a random copolymer consists essentially of recurring units of methylmethacrylate and recurring units of N-phenylmaleimide,
- (b) the second polymer is selected from the group consisting essentially of a random copolymer of recurring units of styrene and from about 9.5 to about 12.5 weight percent recurring units of maleic anhydride and a random terpolymer of recurring units of styrene, from about 6 to about 9 weight percent recurring units of maleic anhydride and from about 3 to about 8 weight percent recurring units of N-phenylmaleimide, and
- (c) the third polymer is selected from the group consisting essentially of a random copolymer of recurring units of styrene and recurring units of acrylonitrile and a random terpolymer of recurring units of styrene, recurring units of acrylonitrile and recurring units of N-phenylmaleimide;
- wherein the first polymer is present in an amount of at least 30 weight percent based on the polymer matrices.
