Abstract: The present invention relates to a composition for producing a thermoplastic molding compound containing A) at least one aromatic polycarbonate and/or aromatic polyester carbonate containing at least 500 ppmw of phenolic OH groups, wherein the weight-average molecular weight Mw of component A determined by gel permeation chromatography at room temperature in dichloromethane as solvent using a polycarbonate calibration standard is in the range from 15 000 to 40 000 g/mol, B) at least one copolymer containing structural units derived from methyl methacrylate and 0.

Abstract: A consumable filament and process for using the consumable filament in an extrusion-based additive manufacturing system made from or containing a heterophasic polypropylene composition having a xylene soluble content ranging from 15 wt % to 50 wt %, a melt flow rate MFR L ranging from 0.5 to 100 g/10 min, an intrinsic viscosity of the fraction soluble in xylene at 25° C. ranging from 1.5 to 6.0 dl/g, and an ethylene content ranging from 10 wt % to 50 wt %.

Abstract: The invention refers to a method for producing expanded polymer pellets, which comprises the following steps: melting a polymer comprising a polyamide; adding at least one blowing agent; expanding the melt through at least one die for producing an expanded polymer; and pelletizing the expanded polymer. The invention further concerns polymer pellets produced with the method as well as their use, e.g. for the production of cushioning elements for sports apparel, such as for producing soles or parts of soles of sports shoes. A further aspect of the invention concerns a method for the manufacture of molded components, comprising loading pellets of an expanded to polymer material into a mold, and connecting the pellets by providing heat energy, wherein the expanded polymer material of the pellets or beads comprises a chain extender. The molded components may be used in broad ranges of application.
