TLDR
In this paper, a graft copolymer is grafted with a second monomer formulation containing at least 60 percent by weight of ethylenically unsaturated nitrile monomers.
Abstract
A polyblend with good impact properties, good light stability, good heat stability, low water vapor transmission and low oxygen permeability has a polymerization graft component with a rubbery substrate and a composite superstrate. Initially, the rubbery substrate is grafted with a monomer mixture containing little or no nitrile monomer and generally comprised of monomers selected from the group consisting of monovinylidene aromatic hydrocarbon, alkyl esters of unsaturated carboxylic acids, unsaturated carboxylic acids, vinyl alkanoates and vinyl ethers. Thereafter, the resultant graft copolymer is admixed and grafted with a second monomer formulation containing at least 60 percent by weight of ethylenically unsaturated nitrile monomers. The resultant composite graft copolymer is then blended with a matrix of an ethylenically unsaturated nitrile polymer to provide the desired impact modified polymer blends.

A process for producing a rubber-modified thermoplastic resin

TL;DR: In this paper, a graft-copolymerization process for rubber-modified thermoplastic resins is described, in which a mixture of an aromatic alkenyl compound, an alkenycl cyanide compound, and a methacrylic acid ester compound is obtained by grafting on an ethylene-propylene rubber until the conversion ratio reaches 30 to 70% by weight.

Thin walled containers for pressurized liquids

TL;DR: A carbonated beverage package comprising an inner container gas tight sealed by means of a lid and containing carbonated beverages, and an outer restraining cup, which restrains the inner container from excessive expansion due to the pressure of the beverages contained inside the container, but which can readily be detached from the container for use as a drinking vessel upon release of the pressure within the container as discussed by the authors.

Paper coating composition of unsaturated acid and mono-olefin polymerized in the presence of a preformed styrene/butadiene latex

TL;DR: Paper coating compositions having an improved combination of properties are prepared by admixing, in the normal proportions and by conventional techniques, one or more conventional paper coating pigments with a particular type of synthetic polymer latex.

Low gloss weather and impact resistant resins

TL;DR: In this article, a low gloss impact and weather resistant thermoplastic resins comprising a hard matrix polymer and a grafted alkylacrylate rubber having a core of a substantially uncrosslinked alkLACrylate polymer, and a graftable overpolymer layer of a high crosslink density alklacylate polymer was presented.

Abs compositions and process for preparing same

TL;DR: An intermediate for use in a polyblend consisting essentially of a copolymer of monoalkenyl aromatic monomer such as styrene and a ethylenically unsaturated nitrile monomer, such as acrylonitrile surface grafted onto rubber which is dispersed in a matrix copolym of the graft copolymers, the dispersed phase being monomodal in particle size distribution.

Method for manufacture of acrylonitrile-butadiene-aromatic vinyl resinous compositions

TL;DR: Graft polymers containing 17-33% of acrylonitrile, 18-36% of butadiene and 65-31% of a vinyl aromatic component are made by graft polymerizing in the presence of a catalyst system acrylatitrile and vinyl aromatic monomer on to a latex of a butane-styrene copolymer which contains 17-24% of styrene and which contains no gel or, if any, highly swelling gel, the latex particles having an average diameter of 0.1 to 1.0m.
