Abstract:
A bisphenol polyether oligomer composition comprising greater than 90 wt. % of an oligomer of the formula wherein Ra, Rb, and Rc are each independently a C1-12 alkyl, C1-12 alkoxy, or C1-12 alkylarylene, each Xa is independently a single bond, —O—, —S—, —S(O)—, —S(O)2—, —C(O)—, or a C1-18 organic group, G is H or p, q, and t are each independently integers of 0 to 4, n is 1 to 10; and wherein the bisphenol polyether oligomer composition comprises: a total halide content of less than 1000 ppm, less than 1000 ppm of —CH2OH groups, less than 5 wt. % cyclic oligomers, and less than 100 ppm of a bisphenol of the formula wherein Ra, Rb, Xa, p and q are the same as in the oligomer.

Abstract:
A polyetherimide-siloxane composition including 70 to 99.9 weight percent of a polyetherimide-siloxane copolymer having a weight average molecular weight of 5,000 to 80,000 Daltons and having a polysiloxane content of 10 to 50 weight percent, preferably 15 to 40 weight percent, more preferably 20 to 35 weight percent, and 0.1 to 30 weight percent of an aryl phosphate having a molecular weight from 500 to 1,200 Daltons, wherein weight percent is based on the total weight of the composition, is disclosed. The composition has a melt flow at least 10% greater than the melt flow of the same polyetherimide-siloxane composition without the aryl phosphate, measured according to ASTM D1238 at 300° C. under a 5.0 kilogram load.
