Abstract
Disclosed is an impact-resistant thermoplastic resin composition which comprises a graft copolymer [II]. The graft copolymer [II] is prepared by enlarging the particles in a latex of a rubbery copolymer [I] formed by emulsion polymerization of a monomer mixture of 51-91 wt. % of an alkyl acrylate and 49-1 wt. % of 1,3-butadiene to adjust the particle size to 0.12-0.4 .mu.m by addition of (A) an acid group-containing copolymer obtained by performing emulsion polymerization of a mixture of 3-40 wt. % of acrylic acid, methacrylic acid, itaconic acid, crotonic acid, maleic acid, fumaric acid, cinnamic acid, sorbic acid and/or p-styrene-sulfonic acid, and 97-35 wt. % of an alkyl acrylate, and (B) a salt of an oxyacid having a central element of Groups III to VI of the periodic table, the element belonging to the second or third period, with an alkali or alkaline earth metal or Zn, Ni or Al; and then, polymerizing in the presence of the enlarged rubber copolymer a monomer or monomer mixture comprising 50-100 wt. % of methyl methacrylate and/or styrene. A polymer or copolymer of methyl methacrylate and/or styrene may be incorporated in the thermoplastic resin composition.
