... properties Styrene copolymers are thermoplastic materials containing, apart from styrene, at least one other monomer in the polymer main chain. The most important non-impact-modified representatives are styrene acrylonitrile copolymers (SAN; type: Luran, manufacturer: BASF). Through the addition of graft rubbers to SAN, we get, depending on the type of rubber component used, either ABS (type: Terluran and Ronfalin, manufacturer: BASF) or ASA (type: Luran S, manufacturer: BASF) [1]. Impact modi...
