Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Sufficiently antiblock pellets are provided that include an acrylic block copolymer which has a polymer block including methyl acrylate units. A shaped article is provided from the pellets with high productivity while avoiding deterioration in the outstanding characteristics of the acrylic block copolymer. The pellets include an acrylic block copolymer (I) including at least one polymer block (A1) including methacrylic acid ester units, and at least one polymer block (B1) including acrylic acid ester units, and an acrylic polymer (II) containing 35 mass % or more methyl methacrylate units and having a melt flow rate (MFR) measured at 230° C. under 3.8 kg load of not less than 10 g/10 min. The acrylic acid ester units present in the polymer block (B1) of the acrylic block copolymer (I) consist solely of methyl acrylate units and acrylic acid ester (1) units represented by the general formula CH2═CH—COOR1 (1) (wherein R1 represents a C4-C12 organic group). The mass ratio (I)/(II) of the acrylic block copolymer (I) to the acrylic polymer (II) is 90/10 to 40/60.

1 . Pellets, comprising: an acrylic block copolymer (I) comprising a polymer block (A1) comprising methacrylic acid ester units and a polymer block (B1) comprising acrylic acid ester units, and an acrylic polymer (II) comprising 35 mass % or more methyl methacrylate units and having a melt flow rate (MFR) measured at 230° C. under 3.8 kg load of not less than 10 g/10 min, wherein the acrylic acid ester units present in the polymer block (B1) of the acrylic block copolymer (I) consist solely of methyl acrylate units and acrylic acid ester units formula CH 2 ═CH—COOR 1 (1), wherein R 1 represents a C4-C12 organic group, and a mass ratio (I)/(II) of the acrylic block copolymer (I) to the acrylic polymer (II) is from 90/10 to 40/60. 2 . The pellets of claim 1 , further comprising 200 to 2000 ppm of an antiblocking agent. 3 . A shaped article obtained by shaping the pellets of claim 1 .
