Abstract: A thermoplastic molding composition that contains long glass fibers is disclosed. The composition contain a) at least one polymer selected from the group consisting of polyamides, polycarbonates, polyester carbonates, graft polymers and copolymers, b) a terpolymer of styrene, acrylonitrile and maleic anhydride and c) long glass fibers, the diameter of the fiber filament being from 7 to 25 ?m. The composition features improved mechanical properties.

Abstract: This invention relates to a long fiber-reinforced thermoplastic material and to a method for producing long fiber-reinforced thermoplastics. According to said method, the fibers are impregnated with a first thermoplastic material. Since the matrix of the material consists of at least two different thermoplastics, the fibers being essentially only wet by one of the two thermoplastic materials, the material is considerably more variable in terms of the mechanical and other physical properties that can be obtained than known thermoplastic, long fiber-reinforced materials.
