  • Composition of a polyphenylene ether and styrene resin and an acrylic resin in combination with a diene rubber-container resin
    Patent number: 3983090
    Abstract: There are provided compositions comprising a polyphenylene ether and an acrylic resin in combination with a diene rubber-containing resin, the compositions optionally containing a styrene resin. Illustratively, the addition of an acrylic resin modified butadiene rubber-acrylonitrile-styrene resin to polyphenylene ethers or mixtures of polyphenylene ethers and polystyrenes provides unexpected improvements in toughness in parts molded from the compositions, and in their resistance to gasoline. Such properties are improved without substantially impairing gloss or surface appearance.
