Abstract:
A polyamide-poly(phenylene ether) composition includes, based on the total weight of the composition, 35 to 80 weight percent of polyamide, and 20 to 65 weight percent of a poly(phenylene ether). The polyamide-poly(phenylene ether) composition is utilized in a variety of methods, including methods applicable to the oil and gas industry.
Abstract:
A proppant for use in fracturing a subterranean formation is characterized by specific mean particle size, particle size standard deviation, and aspect ratio. The proppant is prepared from a thermoplastic composition that includes specific amounts of a polyamide and a poly(phenylene ether). The proppant is useful for propping a fracture in a subterranean formation.
