Abstract
A thermoplastic resin composition of excellent transparency and high impact strength is produced by causing methyl methacrylate and styrene monomers to undergo post polymerization in the presence of a conjugated diolefin polymer rubber latex containing at least 50 percent by weight of a conjugated diolefin monomer as the constituent of the rubber such as butadiene, wherein a polyethylene oxide of an average molecular weight of at least 100,000 has been added to the rubber latex either prior to or at the time of the post polymerization to cause the rubber latex to partly coagulate, thereby to prepare a graft polymer. The graft copolymer can be blended with methyl methacrylate-styrene copolymers.
