Abstract:
This invention relates to thermoplastic molding compositions comprising the following: (a) 5 to 95 % by weight of a polyester or a polyester, comprising: repeat units derived from terephthalic acid, ethylene glycol, and 1,4-cyclohexanedimethanol wherein the mole ratio of ethylene glycol to 1,4-cyclohexanedimethanol is from 66:34 to 98:2, said polyester having an I.V. of 0.3 dL/g to 1.2 dL/g, and (b) 5 to 95 % by weight of a polyphenylene ether. The compositions are useful for producing clear articles by injection molding or extrusion.
Abstract:
Disclosed are polymer compositions having improved impact strength, comprising copolyesters of terephthalic acid, ethylene glycol and 1,4-cyclohexanedimethanol with epoxy functional polyolefins.
Abstract:
This invention relates to compositions containing poly(1,4-cyclohexylenedimethylene terephthalate) (PCT) or copolyesters from terephthalic acid, 1,4-cyclohexanedimethanol and ethylene glycol, having improved impact strength at low temperatures due to the presence of an ethylene copolymer which contains repeat units from ethylene and at least 5 mole percent of a free radical polymerizable comonomer selected from the group consisting of vinyl acetate and an alkyl acrylate.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a process for controlling the amount of transesterification taking place during solid stating of poly(ethylene terephthalate) of poly(ethylene naphthalenedicarboxylate) blends to a desirable level, e.g., 5-20 %, by addition of an effective amount, e.g., at least 0.25 weight %, of a phosphorous stabilizer such as bis(2,4-di-t-butylphenyl)pentaerythritol diphosphate. Also disclosed are polymer blends containing the phosphorous stabilizer.
Abstract:
Cette invention concerne des compositions polymères ayant une meilleure résistance à la flexion par choc, comprenant des copolyesters d'acide téréphthalique, de l'éthylène glycol et du 1,4-cyclohexane-diméthanol, ainsi que des polyoléfines à fonctionnalité époxy.
