Abstract
A thermoplastic elastomer comprising 55-90 parts by weight of a crosslinked acrylic rubber having a glass transition temperature of 0.degree. C. or lower and 45-10 parts by weight a copolymer of a methacrylate ester with a maleimide, which has a glass transition temperature of 110.degree. C. or higher. This thermoplastic elastomer may be produced by a first step of polymerizing an acrylic ester in the presence of a polyfunctional monomer with or without a chain transfer agent and a second step of adding a methacrylate ester and a maleimide to the resulting acrylic rubber to carry out copolymerization.
