  • POLY(ARYLENE ETHER) COMPOSITION AND ITS USE IN THE FABRICATION OF EXTRUDED ARTICLES AND COATED WIRE
    Publication number: 20130280532
    Abstract: An electron-beam cured poly(arylene ether) composition exhibits an excellent balance of flexibility, chemical resistance, and resistivity per unit volume. The chemical resistance of the composition is substantially improved by electron beam curing. The electron-beam cured poly(arylene ether) composition is useful for the fabrication of extruded articles, including insulation for automotive wire and cable.

  • POLY(ARYLENE ETHER) COMPOSITION, METHOD, AND ARTICLE
    Publication number: 20090030141
    Abstract: The invention provides a composition including a crosslinked styrenic block copolymer, a poly(arylene ether), and a non-polyolefin crystalline or semi-crystalline resin. The composition exhibits an improved balance of stiffness, ductility, and heat resistance. The composition can be prepared by a process that includes melt-kneading the poly(arylene ether), an acid functionalized styrenic block copolymer, an amine crosslinking agent, and a non-polyolefin crystalline or semi-crystalline resin.
