Abstract
Linear, star or dendrimeric block copolymers are composed of from 10 to 90% by weight of at least one block of one or more acrylates of an alcohol of 1 to 8 carbon atoms and from 10 to 90% by weight of at least one block of one or more methacrylates of an alcohol of 1 to 8 carbon atoms, each block having a number average molecular weight of from 1,000 to 100,000 g/mol and the quotient M.sub.w /M.sub.n (weight average/number average) of each block being less than 2, and said block copolymers may be blended with styrene copolymers or acrylate copolymers and, if required, acrylate rubbers.
Claims2
A molding material containing, based on the sum of A, B, and C:
- A:
- from 1 to 99% by weight of a linear, star or dendrimeric block copolymer A, composed of
- A1:
- from 10 to 90% by weight of at least one block of one or more acrylates of an alcohol of 1 to 8 carbon atoms and
- A2:
- from 10 to 90% by weight of at least one block of one or more methacrylates of an alcohol of 1 to 8 carbon atoms, each block having a number average molecular weight of M.sub.n of from 1,000 to 100,000 g/mol and the quotient M.sub.w /M.sub.n (weight average/number average) of each block being less than 2,
- B:
- from 1 to 99% by weight of a copolymer B composed of from 50 to 95% by weight of styrene or a substituted styrene or of a C.sub.1 -C.sub.8 -alkyl (meth)acrylate and at least one further monomer selected from the group consisting of acrylonitrile, methacrylonitrile, N-alkyl- or N-aryl-substituted maleimide, maleic anhydride, acrylic acid and acrylamide, and,
- C:
- is present in an amount up to 98% by weight of a homopolymer or graft copolymer C of, based on the sum of C1 and C2,
- C1:
- from 50 to 100% by weight of an acrylate rubber C1 and
- C2:
- up to 50% by weight of one or more shells which may be grafted onto C1 and consist of
- C21:
- from 35 to 75% by weight of at least one styrene or substituted styrene or (meth)-acrylate and
- C22:
- from 25 to 65% by weight of acrylonitrile, methacrylonitrile, N-alkyl- or N-aryl-substituted maleimide, maleic anhydride, acrylic acid or acrylamide.
