Abstract
Abstract Polyblends comprising a thermoplastic vinyl chloride polymer and a thermoplastic copolymer of (1) at least one vinyl aromatic monomer, (2) acrylic acid or methacrylic acid, or both, and (3) optionally at least one additional copolymerizable termonomer have useful properties, notably useful heat deflection temperatures under load. The copolymers are preferably rubber-modified graft copolymers.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 13
Claim 1
Independent Claim
76 words
A thermoplastic polyblend composition comprising: (A) a thermoplastic vinyl chloride polymer, and (B) a rubber-modified thermoplastic compolymer of (1) 95 to about 70% by weight of at least one vinyl aromatic monomer, and (2) 5 to about 30% by weight of acrylic acid or methacrylic acid, or both, said copolymer grafted onto a substrate 1,4-polybutadiene rubber containing at least 90% by weight of cis-1,4-polybutadiene, said copolymer having been dried and substantially freed of residual volatile materials.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
76 words
A thermoplastic polyblend composition comprising: (A) a thermoplastic vinyl chloride polymer, and (B) a rubber-modified thermoplastic compolymer of (1) 95 to about 70% by weight of at least one vinyl aromatic monomer, and (2) 5 to about 30% by weight of acrylic acid or methacrylic acid, or both, said copolymer grafted onto a substrate 1,4-polybutadiene rubber containing at least 90% by weight of cis-1,4-polybutadiene, said copolymer having been dried and substantially freed of residual volatile materials.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
