Abstract
The invention relates to a polymer composition comprising 5 to 79 wt. % of a graft copolymer of vinyl aromatic monomers and monomers chosen from the group of C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkyl methacrylates, C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkyl acrylates, methacrylonitrile and acrylonitrile on a rubber, 90 to 20 wt. % of a thermoplastic polyamide polymer and 1 to 50 wt. % of a polymer comprising a vinyl aromatic monomer, at least one monomer chosen from the group of C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkyl methacrylates, C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkyl acrylates, methacrylonitrile and acrylonitrile, and 0.2 to 30 mol % of a compound containing .alpha., .beta.-unsaturated dicarboxylic anhydride, the wt. % of the components being relative to the total weight of the components, characterized in that the composition also comprises at least one monofunctional dicarboxylic-anhydride-containing compound (D) with a weight average molecular weight of less than 1500 g/mol. The polymer composition exhibits excellent mechanical properties, in particular a high impact resistance.
