Abstract
The polymers belonging to the class of acrylonitrile—butadiene—styrene copolymers (ABS) are toughened modifications of styrene—acrylonitrile (SAN) copolymers. The toughening modification is achieved by dispersing submicroscopically small elastomeric particles — mainly derived from butadiene — in the coherent, brittle SAN matrix.
