Poly(acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene) terpolymer (ABS) resin has been widely used because of its excellent mechanical property

thermal stability

chemical resistance

aesthetic property

processability

etc. In this paper

the manufacturing techniques and preparation methods of ABS resin at home and abroad were summarized

and it points out that the continuous bulk polymerization method has advantages and will compete and coexist with the emulsion polymerization method for a long time. Moreover

the emphasis was put on the rubber types used as toughening modifiers of ABS resin and their toughening mechanism. Finally

the application status and development prospect of the instrumented impact tester in the performance characterization of polymer

especially in ABS field

were also discussed. The dynamic fracture progress and mechanism of resin materials can be deeply evaluated by combining the microscopy and the instrumented impact method.
