A modified styrenic polymer is described, which comprises the reaction product of said polymer with an ethylenically unsaturated grafting agent having the formula: <IMAGE> wherein one to three of R1, R2, R3 and R4 are moieties containing reactive groups selected from carboxylic acid, acid anhydride, acid amide, imido, carboxylic ester, amino, hydroxy, epoxy, isocyanate, carbamate, carbamoyl lactam, acyl lactam, pyridyl, 1,3-oxazoline, 1,3 oxazine, oxazolone, oxazinones, and any derivatives, combinations and mixtures thereof; and wherein the remaining one to three of R1, R2, R3 and R4 are H or a hydrocarbon radical of from about 1 to about 20 carbon atoms; said modified styrenic polymer containing said reactive groups as pendant reactive functionalities. The claimed composition comprises: (A) A preblend of maleated ABS and a functionalized EP rubber and (B) a polyamide with reactive end groups. |
