COMPOSITIONS COMPRISING THERMOPLASTIC ACRYLATE-CROSSLINKED VINYL AROMATIC INTERPOLYMER ELASTOMERS AND POLYAMIDES

摘要

Thermoplastic compositions comprising (i) a thermoplastic elastomer comprising a crosslinked (Meth)acrylate phase and a crosslinked interpenetrating phase comprising a polymerized vinyl aromatic, alone, or in further combination with a polymerized acrylonitrile and (ii) polyamide resins because of their polyamide content have improved solvent resistance, wear resistance and high temperature capabilities. If the polyamide is an amorphous polyamide, the compositions have improved barrier properties. The thermoplastic elastomer component contributes improved impact resistance, weatherability, improved processability and lower water absorption.
