Polyphenylene ether-graft-orthoester copolymer blends

摘要

A method for forming polyphenylene ether-graft-orthoester copolymer blends comprises blending functionalized polyphenylene ethers made with graftable orthoester moieties with nucleophilic polymers. Preferably the orthoester is 4-acryloyloxymethyl-2-methoxy-2-methyl-1,3-dioxolane monomer, and the nucleophilic polymers are selected from polyesters, polyamides, or functionalized polyolefins. The preferred method for blending is by a one-step process, in which all reactions occur in one pass.
