Summary:

Styrenic copolymers are engineering thermoplastics. The most important are styrene-acrylonitrile copolymer (SAN) and acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene terpolymer (ABS). Other monomers can also be used with styrene including methyl methacrylate and maleic anhydride. Blends of styrenic copolymers with other thermoplastics are also becoming established in the market place, the most common are blends of ABS with polycarbonate or polyamide. The main market sectors for these materials are automotive and transport, electrical and electronics, and information technology applications. In Europe alone the
