Abstract:
A method for forming an elastomeric composition comprising:A. forming a blend by combining i. a poly(alkenyl-co-maleimide) that is the reaction product of ingredients comprising a maleimide and at least one of: a. vinyl aromatic hydrocarbons, b. R1R2ethylenes, in which R1 and R2 independently are selected from hydrogen or substituted or unsubstituted C1 to C20 alkyl groups having from 1 to 40 carbon atoms, and c. alkyl vinyl ethers, wherein the alkyl group is linear or branched, substituted or unsubstituted, having from 1 to about 40 carbon atoms, and ii. a maleated polyalkylene; iii. a crosslinking agent; B. allowing said crosslinking agent to react with the poly(alkenyl-co-maleimide) and maleated polyalkylene to form a maleated polyalkylene grafted poly(alkenyl-co-maleimide); and C. combining the product of step B with a polyester to provide the elastomeric composition.
