Composite copolymer, its preparation process and its use in the reinforcement of rigid thermoplastic matrices

摘要

This composite interpolymer is produced sequentially with the three stages: uncrosslinked elastomer - crosslinked elastomer - nonelastomer. These three stages A to C are polymerised by starting with monomers containing, per 100 parts, respectively: A(a) 50-100 parts of at least one alkyl or aralkyl acrylate; (b) 0-50 parts of at least one other monomer containing ethylenic unsaturation capable of being copolymerised with the said acrylate; B(a) 50-99.9 parts of at least one principal monomer chosen from conjugated dienes and alkyl or aralkyl acrylates; (b) 0-49.9 parts of at least one monomer containing ethylenic unsaturation capable of being copolymerised with the said principal monomer; (c) 0.05-8 parts of at least one crosslinking monomer; and (d) 0.05-6 parts of at least one grafting monomer; and C(a) 85-99.9 parts of at least one principal monomer chosen from alkyl methacrylates and vinylaromatic hydrocarbons; (b) 0.1-10 parts of at least one monomer containing monoethylenic unsaturation capable of being copolymerised with the said principal monomer; (c) 0-5 parts of at least one chain-limiting agent; the parts being given by weight.
