High impact rubber modified polystyrene and polyphenylene ether resins containing the same.

摘要

Disclosed are thermoplastic compositions of improved mold flow comprising a polyphenylene ether resin and novel rubber modified polystyrenes containing dispersed rubbery particles having a maximum mean diameter of about 2.0 microns and a ratio of the volume average particle size/number average particle size of from not substantially less than 2.00 up to 3.20. Articles molded from the composition have vastly improved surface gloss and ductile impact strength in comparison with conventional polyphenylene/high impact rubber modified polystyrene compositions.
