  • Method of and apparatus for making fiber-reinforced polymer compositions
    Patent number: 5106564
    Abstract: Fiber-reinforced polymer compositions containing resin components including (a) 30-90 weight % of polyamide resins, and (b) 10-70 weight % of polyolefins+unsaturated carboxylic acid-modified polyolefins, based on the resin components; and (c) 5-50 parts by weight of glass fibers per 100 parts by weight of the total compositions, a molar ratio of end amino groups in the polyamide resins to carboxyl groups in the modified polyolefins being 10-1000. The compositions have a morphology in which polyolefin domains having an average size of 0.5-5 .mu.m are uniformly dispersed in polyamide matrix phases.

  • Fiber-reinforced polymer composition
    Patent number: 5106893
    Abstract: A fiber-reinforced polymer composition containing resin components including (a) 30-90 weight % of a polyamide resin, and (b) 10-70 weight % of polyolefin+unsaturated carboxylic acid-modified polyolefin, based on the resin components; and, per 100 parts by weight of the total components, (c) 5-50 parts by weight of glass fibers, and (d) additives including the following set of additives: 0.1-1 parts by weight of N,N'-hexamethylene-bis (3,5-di-tert-butyl-4-hydroxy-hydrocinnamide); 0.1-1 parts by weight of triethylene glycol-bis [3-(3-tert-butyl-5-methyl-4-hydroxyphenyl) propionate]; and 0.1-1 parts by weight of pentaerythrityl-tetrakis [3-(3,5-di-tert-butyl-4-hydroxyphenyl) propionate]. An alternative set of additives are 0.1-2 parts by weight of N,N'-bis [3-(3,5-di-tert-butyl-4-hydroxyphenyl) propionyl] hydrazine; 0.05-0.5 parts by weight of pentaerythrityl-tetrakis [3-(3,5-di-tert-butyl-4-hydroxyphenyl) propionate]; 0.05-0.5 parts by weight of distearyl-pentaerythritol diphosphite; and 0.
