Abstract
Abstract An improved plastic composition formed by the reaction of an alkenyl aromatic monomer, an acrylic monomer and an interpolymer of ethylene, at least one other straight chain alpha-monoolefin and a compound selected from the group consisting of aliphatic and cycloaliphatic polyene compounds in the presence of a free radical catalyst in an organic solvent, and in the presence of a seed mixture comprising a mixture of said monomers and said interpolymer which has been reacted to at least 5% conversion based on said monomers.
