THERMOPLASTIC POLY(ARYLENE ETHER)/POLYAMIDE BLENDS AND METHOD OF MAKING

摘要

A thermoplastic composition comprises: a compatibilized blend of a poly(arylene ether), an aliphatic-aromatic polyamide and a polymeric compatibilizer; and an impact modifier; wherein the aliphatic-aromatic polyamide is composed of units derived from a dicarboxylic acid and units derived from a diamine and the units derived from a dicarboxylic acid comprise 60 to 100 mol % of units derived from terephthalic acid and the units derived from a diamine comprise 60 to 100 mol % of units derived from 1,9-nonanediamine, 2-methyl-1,8-octanediamine, or a combination of 1,9-nonanediamine and 2-methyl-1,8-octanediamine.
