Provided is a thermoplastic resin composition which includes: a first graft copolymer including a C.sub.4 to C.sub.10 alkyl (meth)acrylate-based monomer unit, a C.sub.1 to C.sub.3 alkyl-substituted styrene-based monomer unit, and a vinyl cyan-based monomer unit; a second graft copolymer including a C.sub.4 to C.sub.10 alkyl (meth)acrylate-based monomer unit, an alkyl-unsubstituted styrene-based monomer unit, and a vinyl cyan-based monomer unit; a first styrene-based copolymer including a C.sub.1 to C.sub.3 alkyl-substituted styrene-based monomer unit and a vinyl cyan-based monomer unit; a second styrene-based copolymer including an alkyl-unsubstituted styrene-based monomer unit and a vinyl cyan-based monomer unit; and an olefin-based copolymer including a C.sub.1 to C.sub.3 alkyl (meth)acrylate-based monomer unit. The thermoplastic resin composition exhibits remarkably excellent chemical resistance and remarkably excellent appearance characteristics while maintaining basic properties.

Acrylic copolymers that include the controlled placement of functional groups within the polymer structure are provided. The copolymers contain a reactive segment and a non-reactive segment and are manufactured via a controlled radical polymerization process. The copolymers are useful in the manufacture of adhesives and elastomers.
