PLATED POLYPHENYLENE ETHER RESIN COMPOSITIONS CONTAINING SATURATED EPDM RUBBER-MODIFIED ALKENYL AROMATIC RESINS AND HYDROGENATED ELASTOMERIC BLOCK COPOLYMERS

摘要

8CH-2651ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURENovel plated compositions are disclosed whichinclude a polyphenylene ether resin, a small particle EPDMsaturated rubber-modified alkenyl aromatic resin, and ahydrogenated A-B-A block copolymer. Also included withinthe scope of this invention are reinforced and flame-retardantcompositions of said polyphenylene ether resin, said alkenylaromatic resin modified with an EPDM rubber, and said hydrogenatedelastomeric block copolymer. The resins of the instant applica-tion are particularly well suited to metal plated applicationswhere decoration, U.V. resistance or electric conductivity aredesired.
