Some polymers including polyvinyl chloride, polystyrene, polymethylmethacrylate, epoxy and polyester resins, display poor tensile strength and durability. That is why they tend to crack under impact force, especially at low temperatures. To fight this phenomena, special impact modifiers are added to these polymers. Global market in impact modifiers currently exceeds 500,000 tpy, and the PVC sector...
