  • Publication number: 20020120049
    Abstract: The invention relates to an extruded moulded part comprising at least a polycondensate with a melt strength such that the polycondensate is not suitable for extrusion applications per se and a nano-filler, and a process for its production. The major advantage of the extruded moulded part and the process according to the invention is that extruded moulded parts containing polycondensate grades with both high and low viscosities are available. It is for example possible to use polyamides and polyesters that have not been after-condensed in the extruded moulded part according to the invention. Preferably, the extruded moulded part according to the invention contains a polyamide with a relative viscosity of less than 4.3, determined in a 1 % solution of the polyamide in m-cresol at 25° C. The invention also relates to a process for increasing the melt strength of a polycondensate composition that contains at least a polycondensate by adding an amount of nano-filler to the composition.
