Abstract: Disclosed herein are blended thermoplastic compositions comprising a polycarbonate component, a styrene-acrylonitrile copolymer component, and a high rubber graft acrylonitrile-butadiene styrene copolymer or methyl (meth) acrylate-butadiene-styrene copolymer component. The resulting thermoplastic compositions can be used in the manufacture of articles requiring materials with high impact strength, good flow, flame retardancy, ductility, and improved surface appearance. 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 disclosure.

Abstract: A method for manufacturing a modified polycarbonate resin, characterized in that melting and kneading are used to react an anthracene compound and a polycarbonate resin. The modified polycarbonate resin contains structural units that are attached to the main chain of the modified polycarbonate resin. The structural units are expressed by formula [I-1] or [I-2] as follows: wherein Y is a C1-C20 bivalent hydrocarbon group; R is a C1-C20 hydrocarbon; Ra is a hydrogen atom or a C1-C20 hydrocarbon; n is an integer from 0 to 4; X which may be the same or different, is a C1-C20 hydrocarbon group or a halogen atom; X2, which may be the same or different, is a hydrogen atom, a C1-C20 hydrocarbon group, or a halogen atom; and a plurality of X1s and X2s may combine together to form a ring structure.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a polycarbonate modification method wherein a polycarbonate resin having (a) a carbon-carbon double bond, and (b) at least one group selected from the group consisting of --C(.dbd.O)--Cl, --C(.dbd.O)--Br, --C(.dbd.O)--OH, --OH, --O--C(.dbd.O)--Cl and --O--C(.dbd.O)--Br, is melt-kneaded in the presence of a radical initiator. Polycarbonate resins prepared according to the present method retain the desirable properties associated with polycarbonates while exhibiting decreased surface gloss.

Abstract: A composition comprisinga. an aromatic copolyestercarbonate comprising from about 2 to 30 mole percent ester content of an alpha omega aliphatic dicarboxylic acid ester having from about 8 to 20 carbon atoms, inclusive, admixed withb. an inert filler in sufficient quantities to increase the flexural modulus of copolyestercarbonate.

Abstract: Thermoplastic resin compositions which contain specified weight proportions of a polyphenylene ether resin, a polyamide resin and a rubber polymer consisting of a mixture of ABA or ABA' types of block copolymers and an AB block copolymer are improved by the presence of a miscibility enhancer. Representative of the miscibility enhancers are citric acid, malic acid, maleic anhydride, trimellitic chloride anhydride and the like. The compositions of the invention have been found to produce molded articles of improved low-temperature impact properties.

Abstract: Thermoplastic molding compositions of blends of polyphenylene ethers and polyesters are improved in respect to impact resistance by the addition of an organophosphorus compound of the formula: ##STR1## wherein R.sub.1 when taken independently is selected from divalent hydrocarbon residues containing 2-12 carbon atoms; each of R.sub.2 -R.sub.5 when taken independently are selected from the group consisting of alkyl groups of 2 to 12 carbon atoms, aryl groups containing 6-14 carbon atoms, alkyl-substituted aryl groups, aralkyl groups, halogen-substituted alkyl groups, halogen-substituted aryl groups of 6-14 carbon atoms, halogen-substituted alkyl-substituted aryl groups, and halogen-substituted aralkyl groups; two groups selected from among R.sub.1 -R.sub.5 may be bonded together and form a ring; provided at least one member selected from among R.sub.1 -R.sub.5 has a carbon-carbon unsaturated double bond or triple bond, and at least one member selected from among R.sub.1 -R.sub.

Abstract: The present invention concerns a resin composition that contains a polyphenylene ether, an oxazolinyl group-containing polyphenylene ether, and a polyester.

Abstract: An improved thermoplastic resin composition is described, containing polyphenylene ether resin, polyamide resin, and certain organophosphorus compounds.
