A multilayer interpolymer material of an elastomeric inner phase polymerized from (a) 50-99.9 parts of at least one among: conjugated dienes and alkyl and aralkyl acrylates, (b) 0-49.9 parts of at least one copolymerizable monomer, (c) 0.05-8 parts of at least one crosslinking monomer, and (d) 0.05-6 parts of at least one grafting monomer, and a nonelastomeric outer phase, polymerized from (a) 50-99.9 parts by weight of at least one among: alkyl methacrylates, vinyl aromatic hydrocarbons and unsaturated nitriles, (b) 0.1-50 parts of at least one copolymerizable monomer, and (c) 0-5 parts of at least one chain-limiting agent, the parts being given by weight, it being possible for the said polymer to comprise a nonelastomeric or else elastomeric core phase without grafting and crosslinking monomers. Two populations of particles of mean diameter of approximately 40-150 nm and approximately 160-500 nm respectively are mixed in given ratios. This improves the impact strength of the resultant matrices. |
