Abstract: A monofilament comprising a branched poly(ethylene terephthalate) having an inherent viscosity of at least 0.50 dL/g. Also provided is a process for forming a monofilament that comprises forming a branched poly(ethylene terephthalate) having an inherent viscosity of at least 0.50 dL/g and shaping the branched poly(ethylene terephthalate) to form the monofilament.
Abstract: Multilayer laminates formed from at least two layers. The first layer being a flexible blow moldable thermoplastic polyamide composition and the second layer being a vinyl alcohol composition. These laminates can withstand high temperatures for extended periods of time, possess low temperature impact strength, and have resistance to permeation of fuel compositions. These laminates are especially suited for fuel tanks for motor vehicles.
