A process for the production of an elastomer agglomerate composition wherein the process comprises the steps in this order: (a) providing a slurry comprising elastomeric particles having an average particle size of ≤150 nm in water; and (b) forcing the slurry from (a) through an aperture at a flow velocity of at least 500 m/s. The elastomer agglomerate compositions produced via such process demonstrate a particularly desirable high average particle size.

An opaque high-impact methyl methacrylate-butadiene-styrene polymer (MBS) for improving impact resistance of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) including the following components by mass: 80-95% of core layer, 4-20% of shell layer and 0.001-0.05% of protective colloid, where the core layer is a butadiene (B) and styrene (S) polymer, the shell layer is one or a copolymer of two or three of S, acrylate and methyl methacrylate (MMA), and the protective colloid includes one or a compound of two or three of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), gelatin and hydroxypropylmethyl cellulose (HPMC), may solve the problems of low impact resistance in the existing MBS product and difficult coagulation or spraying in the post-treatment process.

A graft copolymer, a thermoplastic resin composition including the graft copolymer, and a method of preparing the thermoplastic resin composition are described herein. A graft copolymer having a shell in which silica modified with a specific compound is dispersed within a specific content range, a thermoplastic resin composition including the graft copolymer, and a method of preparing the thermoplastic resin composition are also described herein. Since silica modified with a specific compound is dispersed in the periphery of rubber particles, that is, in the shell of the graft copolymer, the dispersibility of the graft copolymer may be improved. Therefore, the graft copolymer may have transparency equal to or better than a conventional graft copolymer. In addition, compared to a resin composition having an equivalent rubber content, the thermoplastic resin composition described herein may have excellent physical properties, such as impact strength and tensile strength.
