Abstract: An aromatic vinyl thermoplastic resin composition includes (A) about 10 to about 99% by weight of a thermoplastic resin (A) including (a1) an aromatic vinyl copolymer resin, (a2) a rubber-modified vinyl graft copolymer, or a combination of (a1) and (a2); and (B) about 1 to about 90% by weight of a branched aromatic vinyl copolymer resin including a silicon based compound. The branched aromatic vinyl copolymer includes a copolymer prepared by copolymerizing (b1) about 10 to about 85% by weight of an aromatic vinyl based monomer; (b2) about 10 to about 85% by weight of an unsaturated nitrile based monomer; (b3) about 1 to about 50% by weight of an aromatic methacrylate, aliphatic methacrylate, or a combination thereof; and (b4) about 0.1 to about 20% by weight of a silicon based compound having two or more unsaturated functional groups.
