Abstract

The impact resistance of polyimides is improved by the addition of impact modifiers comprising, as a first stage, an elastomeric polydiorganosiloxane optionally polymerized simultaneously with but separately from one or more vinyl monomers, and as at least one grafted subsequent stage a polymer or copolymer of acrylonitrile, methacrylonitrile, a vinyl aromatic compound, (meth)acrylic acid, alkyl (meth)acrylate or (meth)acrylamide monomer.
