Polyphenylene ether compositions having improved processability.

摘要

A polyphenylene ether composition comprises polyphenylene ether, optionally styrene resin, and a diamide represented by the formula
<Chemistry id="chema01" num="0001"><Image id="ia01" he="12" wi="37" file="IMGA0001.TIF" imgContent="chem" imgFormat="TIFF" inline="no" /></Chemistry>wherein R' is a C<Sub>1-10</Sub> linear or branched saturated or unsaturated aliphatic hydrocarbon residue, an alicyclic hydrocarbon residue, an aromatic hydrocarbon residue, or such a residue having one or more substituents; and R<Sup>2</Sup> and R<Sup>3</Sup>, which may be the same of different, are each a C<Sub>1-10</Sub> linear or branched saturated or unsaturated aliphatic hydrocarbon residue, an alicyclic hydrocarbon residue or an aromatic hydrocarbon residue, or such a residue having one or more substituents.

The composition has improved processability, due to high flowability, with a minimum decrease in heat resistance.
