Abstract

Polyblends are described which comprise (i) 40 to 60% by weight of polyphenylene oxide; (ii) from 10 to 30% by weight an SAN or ABS polymer comprising from 2 to 14% by weight of acrylonitrile; and (iii) from 10 to 30% by weight of a styrene/maleic anhydride copolymer containing from 5 to 18% by weight of maleic anhydride; and in which: (a) the weight proportion of rubber (ungrafted basis) in the polyblend is less than 8%; and (b) the proportions of acrylonitrile and maleic anhydride are selected such that, when plasticized only with 4 parts of triphenyl phosphate for each 100 parts by weight of polyphenylene oxide, the Izod impact strength is at least 50 J/M notch and the distortion temperature under load is at least 110.degree.
