Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
112 words
A composition comprising a. 100 parts by weight of a block copolymer having at least two polymer blocks A and at least one polymer block B, each polymer block A being selected from the group consisting of monoalkenyl arene polymers and hydrogenated products thereof wherein no more than about 25% of the aromatic double bonds having been reduced, and polymer block B being a hydrogenated polymer block of a C 4-5 conjugated diene wherein at least about 80% of the aliphatic unsaturation of the block has been reduced by hydrogenation; and b. 5-90 parts by weight of an interpolymer of % by Weight
Diene rubber 5-60
Acrylonitrile 5-50
Alkenyl aromatic monomer
25-85.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
112 words
A composition comprising a. 100 parts by weight of a block copolymer having at least two polymer blocks A and at least one polymer block B, each polymer block A being selected from the group consisting of monoalkenyl arene polymers and hydrogenated products thereof wherein no more than about 25% of the aromatic double bonds having been reduced, and polymer block B being a hydrogenated polymer block of a C 4-5 conjugated diene wherein at least about 80% of the aliphatic unsaturation of the block has been reduced by hydrogenation; and b. 5-90 parts by weight of an interpolymer of % by Weight
