  • Publication number: 20060073306
    Abstract: The present invention is to provide an amorphous wholly aromatic polyester amide composition which has an excellent stretching property and a good adhesion to a heterogeneous polymer and thereby can be in particular suitably used for a multilayer film, or a multilayer sheet, a multilayer blow formed product and the like. That is, (the first invention) an amorphous wholly aromatic polyester amide composition obtained by blending 1 to 30% by weight of a modified polyolefin resin or a polyamide resin having a melting point of 230° C.

  • Publication number: 20060058496
    Abstract: The invention provides an amorphous wholly aromatic polyester amide which has excellent stretching property and good adhesion to a heterogeneous polymer and thereby can be suitably used for a multilayer film, a multilayer blow molded article and the like. That is, the amorphous wholly aromatic polyester amide which is a wholly aromatic polyester amide obtained by copolymerizing (A) 4-hydroxybenzoic acid, (B) 2-hydroxy-6-aphthoic acid, (C) aromatic aminophenol and (D) aromatic dicarboxylic acid, wherein (1) the ratio of (C) the aromatic aminophenol is from 7 to 35% by mol, (2) the ratio of a bending monomer among starting material monomers is from 7 to 35% by mol, (3) the ratio ((A)/(B)) between (A) the 4-hydroxybenzoic acid and (B) the 2-hydroxy-6-naphthoic acid is from 0.15 to 4.0, (4) the ratio of isophthalic acid is at least 35% by mol or more in (D) the aromatic dicarboxylic acid, (5) a melting point is not observed by DSC measurement at a temperature rising rate of 20° C.
