Effect of poly(ethylene-co-vinyl acetate) additive on mechanical properties of maleic anhydride-grafted acrylonitrile butadiene styrene for coating applications

The Izod impact strength of maleic anhydride-grafted acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (MA-g-ABS) copolymer has been improved by the use of rubbery poly(ethylene-co-vinyl acetate) (EVA). The MA-g-ABS is prepared by an internal mixer using dicumyl peroxide as free radical initiator, and the grafting de...
