Abstract: The present invention relates to polyester acrylate graft copolymers comprising poly(meth)acrylates as graft substrate, the graft substrate having internal and/or terminal functional groups and polyester side chains as graft branches and/or having polyester blocks attached to at least one chain end of the graft substrate. The present invention further relates to processes for preparing the polyester acrylate graft copolymers and also to their use.

Abstract: Polyoxymethylene moulding compositions of the invention comprise (i) at least one polyoxymethylene homo- and/or copolymer, (ii) at least one conventional additive and (iii) at least one polymeric plastics material as an additive for improving the heat stability, and are distinguished in that (iii) is a copolymer which is obtainable by polymerization in bulk of a mixture of A) 60-90 parts of one or more (meth)acrylates, B) 10-40 parts of one or more (meth)acrylamides, C) per 100 parts of A)+B), >0.2 to 5 parts of molecular weight regulator and D) per 100 parts of A)+B), up to 2 parts of lipophilic free radical polymerization initiators, and in that the moulding composition comprises (iii) in an amount of 0.01 to 2 parts, based on the sum of (i)+(ii) where all the amounts relate to parts by weight (wt/wt) and A) and B) together must give 100 parts.
