Abstract: Thermoplastic polymeric compositions having high heat-distortion temperatures and good processability and handling characteristics which function as gas and vapor barrier materials which are composed of an olefinically unsaturated nitrile, such as acrylonitrile, indene and a polyolefinic monomer, such as divinyl benzene, are described.
Abstract: The invention relates to a copolymer comprising at least 40% by weight of copolymerized acrylonitrile, from 0.5 to 40% by weight of at least one copolymerized aceto acetate of a mono (meth) acrylate of an aliphatic diol containing from 2 to 8 carbon atoms and, optionally, at least one other copolymerized comonomer.
