摘要:
The invention relates to a process for making modified polybutylene terephthalate random copolymers from a polyethylene terephthalate component. In one embodiment, the invention relates to a two step process in which a 1,4-butane diol component reacts with a polyethylene terephthalate component under conditions that depolymerize the polyethylene terephthalate component into a molten mixture and the molten mixture is placed under subatmospheric conditions that produce the modified polybutylene terephthalate random copolymers. In another embodiment, the invention relates to a three step process in which a diol component selected from the group consisting of ethylene glycol, propylene glycol, and combinations thereof reacts with a polyethylene terephthalate component under conditions sufficient to depolymerize the polyethylene terephthalate component into a first molten mixture; and where the first molten mixture is combined with 1,4-butane diol under conditions that create a second molten mixture that is subsequently placed under subatmospheric conditions that produce the modified polybutylene terephthalate random copolymers. The invention also relates to compositions made from processes of the invention.
摘要:
A composition comprising at least one high Tg amorphous resin with a fibrous filler shows improved melt processability. Addition of a sulfonate salt to the compositions gives increased melt flow as well as enhanced flame retardancy in a composition which is substantially free of bromine and chlorine.

The present invention is directed to a tubular article of manufacture in an annular or tubular shape having an outer diameter, an inner diameter and a length comprising one or more materials selected from the group consisting of: a) an immiscible blend of polymers comprising one or more polyetherimides, having more than one glass transition temperature wherein the polyetherimide has a glass transition temperature greater than 217° Celsius; b) a miscible blend of polymers, comprising one or more polyetherimides, having a single glass transition temperature greater than 180° Celsius; or, c) a single polyetherimide having a glass transition temperature of greater than 247° Celsius
摘要:
Various embodiments of a polyetherimide film and multilayer structure are provided. In one embodiment the polyetherimide film has a glass transition temperature that ranges from about 260° C. to about 350° C. and the polyetherimide has a melt viscosity range from about 200 to about 10,000 Pascal-seconds at 425° C. as measured by ASTM method D3835.
摘要:
Compositions made from a polyarylate or polyester carbonate containing greater than about 50 mole % resorcinol based ester linkages give miscible blends with polyimide resins. The blends of polyimides and resorcinol based polyesters or resorcinol based polyester carbonates also give miscible blends when combined with other aryl alky polyester resins.
摘要:
Phase separated blends of polyaryl ether ketones, polyaryl ketones, polyether ketones, polyether ether ketones and mixtures thereof with at least one polysulfone etherimide, wherein the polysulfone etherimide has greater than or equal to 50 mole % of the polymer linkages contain at least one aryl sulfone group are described. Such blends have improved load bearing capability at high temperature. In another aspect a high crystallization temperature, especially at fast cooling rates, is achieved
摘要:
Blends of siloxane copolymers, notably siloxane polyimides, with polyaryl esters or polyaryl ester carbonates containing linkages derived from resorcinol, show improved flame resistance, as measured by two minute and peak heat release, compared to conventional polycarbonates. In some instances transparent flame retardant blends can also be prepared. The compositions show good melt processability, high impact strength and high elongation, and can be used to make various flame retardant articles including sheets and films.

摘要:
Blends of polysulfones, polyethersulfones and polyphenylene ether sulfones with resorcinol based polyesters, or resorcinol based polyester carbonate polymers, and silicone copolymers have improved flame resistance. Peak heat release energy is reduced and the time to reach peak heat release is increased.
摘要:
Blends of polyimides, polyetherimides or polyetherimide sulfones with resorcinol based polyesters, or resorcinol based polyester carbonate polymers, and silicone copolymers, have improved flame resistance. Peak heat release energy is reduced and the time to reach peak heat release is increased. In some instances the flame retardant blends show high percent transmission with low haze. Addition of metal oxides may further improve flame resistance.
