A thermoplastic silicone vulcanizate as a masterbatch additive in a thermoplastic composition comprising a thermoplastic elastomer composition is disclosed. It was confirmed that by using a thermoplastic silicone vulcanizate as a masterbatch additive, for example, compared to the unmodified thermoplastic composition, the impact resistance is increased, the mechanical modulus of elasticity is reduced, and the surface properties are improved. Methods of making the masterbatch and the thermoplastic composition are also described. |
