In this article, a series of acrylonitrile‐butadiene‐styrene (ABS) graft copolymers with polybutadiene (PB) particle sizes ranging from 66 nm to 304 nm were prepared. Toughening of chlorinated polyvinylchloride (CPVC) with ABS graft copolymers was investigated. The results showed that PVC, as a compatibilizer, made the miscibility of CPVC/ABS blends better. PB particle size had significant influence on the ductility of CPVC/ABS blends. There was obvious synergetic effect in the bimodal system. From scanning electron microscopy (SEM), it was found that the dispersion of ABS graft copolymers in the matrix was dependent of PB particle size, and the morphology of CPVC/ABS blends was consistent in the ability to explain properties.
