A process for preparing thermoplastics or polymer blends comprising (A) from 5 to 95% of a water-moist elastomer component containing up to 60% of residual water, (B) from 5 to 95% of a thermoplastic polymer, (C) from 0 to 95% of a further polymer, and (D) from 0 to 70% of additives, said process comprising mixing the components A to D in an extruder with mechanical dewatering of component A, wherein the extruder has at least two rotating screws and, in the conveying direction, is essentially composed of a metering section into which component A is fed, a squeeze section which serves for dewatering component A and contains a retarding element and an associated dewatering orifice which is present upstream of the retarding element by a distance corresponding to at least one screw diameter, a feed section in which the thermoplastic polymer B is introduced as a melt into the extruder, a plastication section with mixing or kneading elements, a devolatilization section with an orifice and in which the remaining water is removed as steam, and a discharge zone.
A process for the preparation of toughened thermoplastics or polymer blends containing toughened thermoplastics, the thermoplastics or the polymer blends comprising
