  • Publication number: 20230167218
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method for preparing a graft copolymer, a graft copolymer prepared therefrom, and a resin composition including the same. The method includes introducing a polymer coagulant latex including a polymer coagulant to a rubbery polymer latex including a rubbery polymer and coagulating the polymer coagulant latex to prepare an enlarged rubbery polymer latex containing an enlarged rubbery polymer, and introducing an aromatic vinyl-based monomer and a vinyl cyan-based monomer to the prepared enlarged rubbery polymer latex and performing graft polymerization to prepare a graft copolymer latex including a graft copolymer. The polymer coagulant includes an acid group-containing copolymer having a weight average molecular weight of 550,000 g/mol to 750,000 g/mol, and the content of the vinyl cyan-based monomer is 15 wt % to 24 wt % based on the total content of the aromatic vinyl-based monomer and the vinyl cyan-based monomer.

  • Publication number: 20220411559
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method of preparing a graft copolymer and a method of preparing a thermoplastic resin composition including the prepared graft copolymer. Also disclosed is a method of preparing a graft copolymer including a process of adding an aromatic vinyl monomer and a vinyl cyanide monomer to a conjugated diene rubber latex that is enlarged with a polymer particle diameter control agent that has a specific glass transition temperature and an average particle diameter in a specific ratio to an average particle diameter of a conjugated diene rubber latex, and graft-polymerizing the same; and a method of preparing a thermoplastic resin composition including the prepared graft copolymer. Also disclosed is a graft copolymer prepared using the conjugated diene rubber latex enlarged with the polymer particle diameter control agent exhibiting the synergistic effect of improving both impact strength and fluidity.

  • Publication number: 20220177629
    Abstract: Provided is a method of preparing a graft polymer, which includes: polymerizing a monomer mixture comprising a carboxylic acid monomer and methyl acrylate, wherein the carboxylic acid monomer is included at 1.5 to 2.5 wt %, and thus preparing an acrylic coagulant having an average particle diameter of 60 to 70 nm; polymerizing diene-based monomers in the presence of an emulsifier containing a salt of a compound and thus preparing a first diene-based rubber polymer; enlarging the first diene-based rubber polymer using the acrylic coagulant and thus preparing a second diene-based rubber polymer; and graft-polymerizing an aromatic vinyl-based monomer and a vinyl cyanide-based monomer to the second diene-based rubber polymer and thus preparing a graft polymer.
