Abstract: The present invention relates to maleic acid derivatives polar group-containing polypropylene, the process to making the same by reactive extrusion in presence of a grafting agent, a polypropylene co- and/or homopolymer is put in contact with a Diels-Alder adduct which is the reaction product of a diene and a dienophile belonging to the group of maleic acid derivatives.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a polymer composition comprising—polycarbonate; -(meth)acrylic polymer; and-?1.0 and ?10.0 wt % polyalkylene glycol with regard to the total weight of the polymer composition. Such polymer composition can be produced by for example a conventional compounding process using melt extrusion, wherein polycarbonates and PMMA can be converted into a polymer composition having the desired properties without need for using dedicated process equipment.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a polymer blend comprising a first polycarbonate comprising a first structural unit derived from a 2-aryl-3,3-bis(4-hydroxyaryl)phthalimidine and a second structural unit derived from a dihydroxy aromatic compound, wherein the second structural unit is not identical to the first structural unit, and a second polycarbonate comprising a structural unit derived from a dihydroxy aromatic compound, wherein the polymer blend has a glass transition temperature of 155 to 200° C.; and wherein a test auricle having a thickness of 3.2 mm and molded from the blend has a haze of less than or equal to 3.0 measured in accordance with ASTM D1003-00. A method of making the polymer blend, and articles prepared from the blend, are also disclosed.

Abstract: Reinforced polyimide compositions that include a reinforcing filler and a polyamide flow promoter improve flow promotion while maintaining other mechanical, thermal, flame and/or electrical properties of the compositions. The compositions may include an inorganic or organic reinforcing filler, a polyimide resin such as polyetherimide or polyamideimide and a small amount of an aromatic or aliphatic polyamide as the flow promoter. The resulting compositions may be used in thinner-wall applications while still retaining the advantageous physical properties of reinforced polyimide compositions not having the flow promoter. This abstract is intended as a scanning tool for purposes of searching in the particular art and is not intended to be limiting of the present invention.
