Impact resistant polyphenylene ether resin compositions

摘要

Blends of polyphenylene ether resin and a small amount of certain ethylene copolymers or terpolymers containing hydroxyl and carbonyl functional groups, optionally including impact modifier, are described. These can be molded into articles which possess improved Gardner impact strength. The improvement is considerably greater than that which is achieved by use of the same amount of low density polyethylene.
