POLYARYLENE ESTERS MOULDING COMPOSITIONS, PROCESS FOR THEIR PREPARATION AND SHAPED ARTICLES THEREFROM

摘要

A molding resin comprising an intimate blend of a polyarylene ester and a reinforcing filler; the polyarylene ester consisting essentially of units derived from a C8 to C25 aromatic dicarboxylic acid and a diphenol comprising from 60 to 100 mol percent 1,2-bis- (4-hydroxyphenyl) ethane and from 40 to 0 mol percent of a C6 to C25 diphenol, said inherent viscosity of said polyarylene ester at 30 DEG C. is at least 0.5 as determined at a concentration of 0.5 grams polyester per 100 ml solution in a solvent mixture of 60 parts by weight of phenol and 40 parts by weight of sym-tetrachloroethane. A process for preparing the said molding resin is also described.
