Abstract: The invention relates to the use of at least one prepolymer in a composition which includes: a matrix of at least one transparent semi-crystalline polyamide, and optionally at least one additive, for improving the crystallisation kinetics and reducing the warping of the composition while preserving or improving the transparency properties thereof as well as the mechanical properties thereof, in comparison with the same composition without a prepolymer, wherein the composition does not contain a nucleating agent.

Abstract: Provided is a composition including (A) 65% to 95% of a polyamide mixture, (B) 7% to 30% of at least one impact modifier or of at least one core-shell entity or of a mixture thereof, and (C) 0 to 5% of at least one additive chosen from stabilizers, dyes, plasticizers, fibers, fillers, processing aids or a mixture thereof. The composition may be used, for example, to produce an article by extruding, injection molding, molding or thermoforming.

Abstract: A copolymer containing polyether blocks and polyamide blocks for manufacturing an inflatable catheter element, such as a catheter balloon, with improved bursting strength, in which said copolymer has the following characteristics: number-average molecular mass of the PE blocks greater than 500 g/mol, and number-average molecular mass of the PA blocks greater than 10 000 g/mol.

Abstract: Composition including: (A) 50% to 95% of at least one semicrystalline polyamide of formula A/Z in which: A is an aliphatic repeating unit chosen from a unit obtained from the polycondensation of at least one amino acid and a unit obtained from the polycondensation of at least one lactam or a unit X.Y obtained from the polycondensation of at least one diamine, and of at least one dicarboxylic acid, and Z represents another polyamide and is included from 0 to 20%; (B) 5% to 50% of at least one semicrystalline copolyamide comprising amide units (Ba1) and including polyether units (Ba2), having a glass transition temperature (Tg) below 75° C.; (C) 0% to 20% by weight of fibres and/or fillers, (D) 0% to 20% of at least one impact modifier, (E) 0% to 5% of at least one additive, for the manufacture of a sports article.

Abstract: The invention relates to a copolymer having polyamide PA blocks and polyether PE blocks, in which PA is of diamine.diacid X.Y type; X, the number of carbons of the diamine, is within the range from 6 to 14, and Y, the number of carbons of the diacid, is within the range from 6 to 18. The invention also relates to the use of the said copolymer in a process of direct adhesion between two TPE materials for increasing the peel strength between these materials.
