Synthesis, Properties and Applications of Acrylonitrile-Styrene-Acrylate Polymers

Synthesis, Properties and Applications of Acrylonitrile-Styrene-Acrylate Polymers [Pg.341]

Acrylonitrile-styrene-acrylate (ASA) constitutes a versatile member of the group of styrenic copolymers used for housings, covers and other applications which require excellent surface appearance and environmental stability combined with high impact resistance and stiffness. It consists of a poly(styrene-acrylonitrile) matrix modified with small rubber particles. [Pg.341]

In comparison with ABS, where the double bonds of polybutadiene are prone to oxidation and crosslinking due to oxygen, ultraviolet (UV) radiation [Pg.341]

Only a few manufacturers of ABS also produce ASA. The reason for this is that in spite of the obvious similarities, there are also significant differences in the [Pg.342]
