The invention relates to a carbon nanotube reinforced thermoplastic molding composition. This thermoplastic molding composition is produced from a graft copolymer containing single wall carbon nanotubes and a thermoplastic polymer. The graft copolymer is produced from a soft elastomeric particulate graft base with a glass transition temperature below 0°C obtained by emulsion polymerization of a conjugated diene alone or with a small amount of a monoethylenically unsaturated monomer or of at least one C1-C18-alkyl acrylate, or of mixtures of these, upon which is grafted a vinyl aromatic monomer and acrylonitrile and optionally another monoethylenically unsaturated monomer.
The aqueous latex of the graft copolymer is mixed with a dispersion of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) in an aqueous medium. For the dispersing step of the carbon nanotubes (CNTs) in aqueous solution, a salt of an amphiphilic polymer is used.
