Abstract
Functional core-shell impact modifiers of glycidyl methacrylate (GMA) functionalized methyl methacrylate-butadiene-styrene (MBS) have been p repared via a seeded semi-continuous emulsion polymerization. These fu nctional MBS-GMA particles were blended with polyamide-6. Investigatio ns by transmission electron microscopy showed a very good dispersion o f the particles in the polymeric matrix, compared with blends of MBS w ith polyamide-6 where a third functional polymer styrene-maleic anhydr ide was added.
