  • Patent number: 5612401
    Abstract: Improved compositions are provided which comprise a poly(phenylene ether) resin, a poly(arylene sulfide) resin, a polyester resin, and a compatibilizer compound. The compositions can further comprise functionalizing agents, impact modifiers, flame retardants, and reinforcing fillers to provide compositions that exhibit improved tensile strength and elongation characteristics. Articles molded from these compositions are useful in the electrical connector industry.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: April 17, 1996
    Date of Patent: March 18, 1997
    Assignee: General Electric Company
    Inventors: Sterling B. Brown, Kevin H. Dai, Chorng-Fure R. Hwang, Steven T. Rice, James J. Scobbo, Jr., John B. Yates
  • Patent number: 5583179
    Abstract: Compatible blends of poly(phenylene ether) resins and polyester resins are provided comprising electrophile-containing poly(phenylene ether) resins, polyester resins and an impact modifier mixture comprising a functionalized polyolefin-based resin and an elastomeric block copolymer to afford articles having good impact, ductility and tensile properties. The compositions may further comprise reinforcing agents, flame retardants, and flow promoters. Articles made from the compositions are useful for automotive components.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 5539062
    Abstract: Compositions are provided for comprising a compatibilizing PPE and a naphthalate-type polyester resin wherein the compositions have a drop in the elastic modulus occurring at least about 15.degree. C. higher than the corresponding blend wherein the polyester does not contain a substantial portion of naphthalate moieties. The compositions can further comprise impact modifiers, reinforcing agents, fillers, stabilizers, antistatic agents, plasticizers, lubricants, and other additives to provide compositions with enhanced physical properties. Articles molded from these compositions are useful in the automotive industry.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 7, 1995
    Date of Patent: July 23, 1996
    Assignee: General Electric Company
    Inventors: Sterling B. Brown, Chorng-Fure R. Hwang, Steven T. Rice, James J. Scobbo, Jr., John B. Yates
  • Patent number: 5504165
    Abstract: Thermoplastic resin compositions comprising in admixture a poly(phenylene ether) resin and a poly(arylene sulfide) resin are provided. The poly(phenylene ether) resin comprises an ortho ester moiety which enhances the compatibility and mechanical properties of the composition. The compositions may optionally comprise impact modifiers and other additives. The compositions are useful for making molded articles.
