  • Impact modification of polyimides
    Patent number: 5200465
    Abstract: The impact resistance of polyimides is improved by the addition of impact modifiers comprising, as a first stage, an elastomeric polydiorganosiloxane optionally polymerized simultaneously with but separately from one or more vinyl monomers, and as at least one grafted subsequent stage a polymer or copolymer of acrylonitrile, methacrylonitrile, a vinyl aromatic compound, (meth)acrylic acid, alkyl (meth)acrylate or (meth)acrylamide monomer.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 11, 1990
    Date of Patent: April 6, 1993
    Assignee: General Electric Company
    Inventors: AnnMarie Hellstern, Robert J. Halley, Linda L. Mitchell, I-Chung W. Wang
  • Method and organopolysiloxane/organic polymeric compositions obtained therefrom
    Patent number: 5106900
    Abstract: The emulsion polymerization of a mixture of organic silicon monomers and vinyl containing organic monomer is effected substantially concurrently. Flocculation of the emulsion polymerized material, and recovery of the flocculated material has been found useful in providing multi-lobed impact modifiers for a variety of organic thermoplastic polymers.
