Abstract: Disclosed herein are overmolded polyamide composites structures and processes for their preparation. The disclosed overmolded composite structures comprise i) a first component having a surface, at least a portion of which is made of a surface resin composition, selected from polyamide compositions comprising a blend of two or more fully aliphatic polyamides having a melting point of at least 250° C., and comprising a fibrous material being impregnated with a matrix resin composition, ii) a second component comprising an overmolding resin composition, adhered to said first component over at least a portion of the surface of said first component, and wherein the matrix resin composition is selected from polyamide compositions comprising a one or more fully aliphatic polyamides having a melting point of at least 250° C.

Abstract: Disclosed are composite structures, overmolded composites structures and processes for their preparation. The composite structures have a surface, where at least a portion is made of a surface polyamide resin composition, and comprise a fibrous material impregnated with a matrix resin composition. The matrix polyamide resin composition and the surface resin composition are polyamide compositions comprising a blend of (A) one or more aliphatic polyamides and (B) one or more polyamides.

Abstract: Disclosed are overmolded composites structures and processes for their preparation. The overmolded composite structures comprise i) a first component having a surface, having at least a portion made of a surface resin composition, and comprising a fibrous material impregnated with a matrix resin composition, ii) a second component comprising an overmolding resin composition, and adhered to said first component over at least a portion of the surface of said first component. The matrix resin composition and the surface resin composition are identical or different and are selected from polyamide compositions comprising a blend of (A) one or more fully aliphatic polyamides selected, and (B) one or more semiaromatic polyamides having a melting point of at least 280° C.

Abstract: A semiaromatic polyamide composite article comprising a first component comprising a fiber-reinforced material comprising a polyamide composition and reinforcing fibers and having a tensile modulus of at least about 16 GPa as measured by ISO method 527-2:1993 at a rate of 5 mm/min on test specimens having a thickness of 4 mm, a second component comprising a polyamide composition, and an optional tie layer therebetween. The polyamide composition of first component and/or the second component is a semiaromatic polyamide compositions. The second component is prepared by injection molding and/or injection-compression molding the semiaromatic polyamide composition onto the first component.
