Abstract

The impact strength of certain thermoplastic vinylic polymers is improved by polymerizing the corresponding monomers in an emulsion of a diorganosiloxane containing units of the formula HSR'SiR.sub.n O.sub.3-n/2. For example a styrene acrylonitrile copolymer containing 20 percent by weight of a dimethylsiloxane-3-mercaptopropylsiloxane copolymer having 1 mol percent mercaptosiloxane has an Izod notched impact strength of 10.8 foot pounds per inch.
