Abstract:
The present invention relates to glass-fiber reinforced polycarbonate compositions having high stiffness, improved thermal and rheological behavior in combination with improved flame-retardant properties and a significantly increased Vicat temperature. The present invention also relates to the use of the compositions according to the invention for the production of thin-walled housing parts or switch boxes in the EE (electricity/electronics) and IT (information technology) sector.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a polyamide resin composition and an article manufactured from the same. The polyamide resin composition includes (A) a semi-aromatic polyamide resin including a dicarboxylic acid unit including 40 to 100 mol% of an aromatic dicarboxylic acid unit, and an aliphatic diamine unit; (B) a glass fiber, and optionally (C) a heat stabilizer including copper halide and/or alkali metal halide, where a content of a terminal carboxyl group [COOH] and a content of a terminal amino group [NH 2 ] of a molecular chain in the semi-aromatic polyamide resin (A) satisfy the following conditions: [COOH] > 37 µeq/g; [NH 2 ] > 80 µeq/g; and, [NH 2 ]/[COOH] > 1.
Abstract:
A significant disadvantage of the use of polylactic acid (PLA) has been overcome by the use of acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS) in combination with an epoxy functional styrene-acrylate oligomeric chain extender. The composition also often exceeds a threshold of 65° C. in heat deflection temperature. Use of an impact modifier further improves the industrial versatility of the heat resistant PLA composition.
