Engineering resin-propylene polymer graft composition
First Claim
1. A composition comprising, by weight (a) from about 10 to about 90% of a resin material selected from the group consisting of (i) a polyphenylene ether resin, (ii) a polyamide resin and (iii) a polyester resin;
- (b) from about 10 to about 90% of a propylene polymer material grafted with styrenic polymer and a glycidyl moiety and further comprising from about 35 to about 95 weight percent of the total grafting monomer of styrenic polymer copolymerized with said glycidyl moiety as a discrete component wherein the total concentration of styrenic and glycidyl moiety monomers added during the grafting of said propylene polymer material is from about 50 to about 200 parts by weight per hundred of said propylene polymer material and said glycidyl moiety monomer is present during said grafting at a concentration of from about 0.1 to about 20.0 weight percent of said total monomer concentration;
optionally (c) from about 1 to about 25% of at least one rubber polymer component comprising (1) from about 0 to 100% of at least one of (i) monoalkenyl aromatic hydrocarbon-conjugated diene block copolymers, (ii) hydrogenated products of (i), or (iii) mixtures of (i) and (ii); and
(2) from about 100 to 0% of an olefin copolymer rubber;
wherein the total amount of (a)+(b) is 100%.

Abstract
Disclosed are resin compositions comprising (a) a polyphenylene ether resin or a polyamide resin or a polyester resin; (b) a glycidyl moiety-styrenic grafted propylene polymer material in combination with a styrenic polymer copolymerized with a glycidyl moiety; optionally (c) (1) one or more monoalkenyl aromatic hydrocarbon-conjugated diene block copolymers, hydrogenated products thereof or mixtures thereof, with or without (2) olefin copolymer rubber; and optionally (d) a propylene polymer material. The compositions exhibit increased resistance to delamination, indicating improved compatibility between the engineering resins and propylene polymer material.
