Abstract
A thermoplastic resin composition comprising 100 parts by weight of a mixture of 10 to 85% by weight of a rubber-reinforced styrene resin, 5 to 50% by weight of a saturated polyester resin and 10 to 70% by weight of at least one copolymer selected from the group consisting of an .alpha.-methylstyrene copolymer and a maleimide copolymer, and 0.2 to 50 parts by weight of (D) an epoxy group-containing olefinic copolymer, wherein a content of the rubbery polymer in the composition is from 5 to 25% by weight. The above thermoplastic resin composition is excellent in sharpness and also in heat resistance, chemical resistance and impact resistance.
Claims1
A thermoplastic resin composition comprising 100 parts by weight of a mixture of
- (A) 20 to 70% by weight of a rubber-reinforced styrene resin which is obtained by graft polymerizing styrene and acrylonitrile in the presence of a rubbery polymer selected from the group consisting of polybutadiene, ethylene-propylene-diene monomer rubber and acrylate copolymers,
- (B) 10 to 40% by weight of polybutylene terephthalate,
- (C) 20 to 50% by weight of maleimide copolymer comprising (i) 5 to 60% by weight of N-phenylmaleimide, (ii) 30 to 80% by weight of styrene and (iii) 10 to 50% by weight of acrylonitrile or of acrylonitrile and methyl methacrylate, and
- 1 to 20 parts by weight of (D) an epoxy group-containing olefinic copolymer prepared from components consisting of 99 to 50% by weight of ethylene, 1 to 50% by weight of glycidyl methacrylate and of 0 to 30% by weight of vinyl acetate wherein the content of said rubbery polymer is from 10 to 20% by weight based on the total weight of the composition (A+B+C+D).
