Abstract
The present invention relates to a silicone-acrylic impact modifier having multi-layer structure and a thermoplastic resin composition containing the same, more precisely a silicone-acrylic impact modifier which is composed of i) silicone rubber seed containing one or more vinyl copolymers; ii) acrylic rubber core covering the seed; and iii) a shell containing one or more vinyl copolymers covering the acrylic rubber core, and a thermoplastic resin composition containing the same. The thermoplastic resin having the silicone-acrylic impact modifier of the present invention has improved impact resistance and colorability.
Claims18
A silicone-acrylic impact modifier having multi-layer structure, which is characterized by containing 1-40 weight % of a silicone rubber seed containing one or more vinyl copolymers;
- 20-80 weight % of an acrylic rubber core covering the silicone rubber seed;
- and 19-40 weight % of a shell containing one or more vinyl copolymers and covering the acrylic rubber core,
- wherein the silicone rubber seed is characterized by containing i) 0.1-10 weight % of one or more vinyl copolymers;
- ii) 50-94.9 weight % of a silicone rubber layer covering the vinyl copolymers;
- and iii) 5-40 weight % of an alkyl methacrylate monomer covering the silicone rubber layer
- wherein the vinyl copolymer of i) is one or more compounds having a glass transition temperature of at least room temperature and selected from the group consisting of an aromatic vinyl monomer of styrene, α-methyl styrene, p-methyl styrene, p-butyl styrene and 3,4-dichloro styrene;
- an alkyl acrylate of ethyl acrylate;
- an alkyl methacrylate of methyl methacrylate and glycidyl methacrylate;
- benzyl methacrylate;
- and a cyano vinyl monomer such as acrylonitrile and methacrylonitrile.
