Disclosed is a molded or extruded thermoplastic article having high heat stability over at least 500 hours at least 170 °C including a thermoplastic composition including a thermoplastic resin; one or more polyhydric alcohols having more than two hydroxyl groups and a having a number average molecular weight (M n ) of less than 2000; one or more reinforcement agents; and optionally, a polymeric toughener; wherein 4 mm test bars prepared from said thermoplastic composition, and exposed at a test temperature at 170 °C for a test period of 500 hours, have, on average, a retention of tensile strength of at least 50 percent, as compared with that of an unexposed control of identical composition and shape. Further disclosed is a molded or extruded thermoplastic article, including a thermoplastic polyamide composition, wherein 4 mm test bars of said thermoplastic polyamide composition, when exposed at 210 °C for a test period of 500 hours, have a retention of tensile strength of at least 70 percent.
摘要:
Processes of making thermoplastic compositions comprising melt-mixing one or more thermoplastic polymers with a hyperbranched polymer made by heating in the presence of a mild basic/nucleophilic esterification catalyst a monomer mixture comprising a hyperbranching monomer consisting of compounds having two COOH groups and one OH group, compounds having one COOH group and two OH groups, compounds having one COOH group and three OH groups, or compounds having three COOH groups and one OH group, wherein the mild basic/nucleophilic esterification catalyst is selected from tin, titanium, aluminum, antimony, manganese, zinc, and calcium derivatives. Upon molding the thermoplastic composition into a test specimen having a thickness of 2 millimeters and after aging the test specimen at 121° C., 2 atm and 100 percent relative humidity for 50 hours, the test specimen retains at least 50 percent of its initial tensile strength as measured according to ISO 527-2/5A.
摘要:
Copolyetherester compositions comprising a melt-mixed blend of one or more copolyetherester(s) comprising a multiplicity of recurring long chain ester units and short chain ester units joined head-to-tail through ester linkages, and (b) about 0.25 to about 15 weight percent of one or more polyhydric alcohols having more than two hydroxyl groups; wherein all weight percentages are based on the total weight of the copolyetherester composition. Molded or extruded thermoplastic articles formed from the copolyetherester compositions, wherein 2 mm test bars prepared from said copolyetherester composition, and exposed at a test temperature of 150 °C for a test period of about 120 hours, in an atmosphere of air, and tested according to according to ISO 527-2/5A method have, on average, a retention of tensile strain at break of at least 50 percent as compared with an unexposed control having identical composition and shape.
