    摘要: The invention pertains to an improved branched glycolic acid polymer being obtained from polycondensation reaction of a monomer mixture comprising: (i) glycolic acid (GA); (ii) optionally, at least one hydroxyacid having only one hydroxyl group and only one carboxylic acid group different from GA [hydroxyacid (A)], wherein the molar amount of hydroxyacid (A) is of at most 5% moles with respect to the sum of moles of GA and hydroxyacid (A); (iii) at least one polyol comprising at least three hydroxyl groups and being free from carboxylic acid group [polyol (H)]; (iv) at least one alcohol comprising one or two hydroxyl groups and being free from carboxylic acid group [alcohol (AO)]; (v) optionally at least one carboxylic acid comprising one carboxylic acid group and being free from hydroxyl group [monoacid (C)]; and (vi) optionally at least one polyacid comprising at least two carboxylic acid groups and being free from hydroxyl groups [polyacid (O)], wherein the amount of polyacid (O) is such that the number of carboxylic acid groups thereof is comprised between 0.025 and 0.900% with respect to the overall number of hydroxyl groups of glycolid acid and of the hydroxyacid (A), if present.

    摘要: Described herein are polymer compositions including (i) a polymer blend containing an amorphous polyester copolymer and a semi-crystalline polyamide polymer (“polyester/polyamide blend”), (ii) 1 weight percent (wt. %) to 5 wt. % of an epoxy functionalized impact modifier and optionally (iii) one or more additives. It was surprisingly found that incorporation of a specific amount of an epoxy functionalized impact modifier into polymer compositions including a polyester/polyamide blend provided for significantly improved impact performance, relative to corresponding polymer compositions incorporating non-epoxy functionalized impact modifiers or corresponding polymer compositions free of impact modifiers. Due at least in part to the significantly improved impact performance and outstanding chemical resistance, the polymer compositions described herein can be incorporated in a wide variety of application settings, including but not limited to mobile electronic application settings.

    摘要: Described herein are polyamides (PA) derived from the polycondensation of monomers in a reaction mixture comprising: (1) a diamine component (A) comprising 20 mol % to 95 mol % of a C4 to C12 aliphatic diamine, and 5 mol % to 80 mol % of a bis(aminoalkyl)cyclohexane, where mol % is relative to the total number of moles of all diamine monomers in the diamine component; and a dicarboxylic acid component (B) comprising: 30 mol % to 99 mol % of terephthalic acid and 1 mol % to 70 mol % of a cyclohexane dicarboxylic acid, wherein mol % is relative to the total number of moles of all dicarboxylic acid monomers in the dicarboxylic acid component. It was surprisingly discovered that, with the particular combination of the bis(aminoalkyl)cyclohexane and the cyclohexanedicarboxylic acid, the polyamides (PA) had, on the whole, improved thermal performance relative to analogous polyamides, in which the cyclohexanedicarboxylic acid is replaced with an aromatic dicarboxylic acid.
