(Evaluation of Processing Stability)
The kneading in Example 1 was continued, and the time until reaching the maximum torque value of the Laboplasto-Mill was measured as a build up time. The polymer composition in Example 1 showed a build up time of 74 minutes. In the case of the styrene-butadiene block copolymer, a longer build up time means more excellent processing stability, thus, it is understood that the polymer composition of methyl α-D-glucopyranoside and styrene-butadiene block copolymer has excellent processing stability.
The same procedure as in Example 1 was carried out excepting that methyl α-D-glucopyranoside in Example 1 was changed to n-octyl β-D-glucopyranoside. The resultant polymer composition had a build up time of 111 minutes, showing excellent processing stability.
The same procedure as in Example 1 was carried out excepting that the polymer stabilizer was not used, and the build up time was measured to find a value of 42 minutes.
The polymer composition containing the polymer stabilizer of the present invention is excellent in processing stability, particularly, excellent in processing stability under high temperatures at which molding processing is carried out.
