A process for the production of a cross linkable thermoplastic elastomeric material comprises blending together under conditions which promote graft copolymerisation components comprising (A) a nitrile rubber component and (B) a thermoplastic organic polymer component comprising, for example, ethylene/alkyl (meth)acrylate wherein the thermoplastic organic component (B) has pendant silane groups bearing hydrolysable functions or, simultaneously with, or subsequent to, the blending/graft compolymerisation, pendant silane substituents are introduced into the blend. The cross linkable thermoplastic elastomeric material of the present invention can be used to manufacture articles by thermoforming techniques. |
