  • Patent number: 6319986
    Abstract: A semiaromatic polyamide resin composition comprising: (A) a polyamide copolymer in which a main constituent component unit is a polyamide formed of a recurring unit of a dicarboxylic acid component unit and a diamine component unit, at least not less than 45 mol % of said dicarboxylic acid component unit being a terephthalic acid component unit, and said diamine component unit comprising a straight-chain alkylenediamine component unit and/or an alkylenediamine component unit having a side-chain alkyl group; (B) an aliphatic polyamide containing, a unit derived from a lactam having 12 carbon atoms, a unit derived from an aminocarboxylic acid having 12 carbon atoms or a unit derived from a dodecanoic diacid and a diamine; and (C) a graft-modified product of a graft-modified ethylene/&agr;-olefin copolymer, a graft-modified product of an aromatic vinyl compound/conjugated diene copolymer, or a graft-modified product of a hydrogenated product of the aromatic vinyl compound/conjugated diene copolymer.

  • Patent number: 6117942
    Abstract: A semiaromatic polyamide resin composition of the present invention contains a polyamide (A) in which a dicarboxylic acid component unit comprises a terephthalic acid component unit and a diamine component unit comprises a straight-chain alkylenediamine component unit and an alkylenediamine component unit having a side-chain alkyl group; and a modified ethylene/.alpha.-olefin copolymer (B) obtained by graft-modifying an ethylene/.alpha.-olefin copolymer having particular properties with an unsaturated carboxylic acid or a derivative thereof. A molded article obtained by using this composition exhibits excellent anti-creeping property under high-temperature and high-humidity conditions, and causes the metal mold to be little fouled during the molding operation.

  • Patent number: 5849826
    Abstract: The semiaromatic polyamide of the invention comprises 40 to 90% by mol of (A) recurring units derived from terephthalic acid and an aliphatic diamine of 4 to 12 carbon atoms, 0 to 50% by mol of (B) recurring units derived from isophthalic acid and an aliphatic diamine of 4 to 12 carbon atoms, 0 to 60% by mol of (C) recurring units derived from an aliphatic dicarboxylic acid of 4 to 18 carbon atoms and an aliphatic diamine of 4 to 12 carbon atoms and 0 to 50% by mol of (D) recurring units derived from a lactam or an aminocarboxylic acid of 6 to 20 carbon atoms, and has a content of boiling water-soluble components (MO components) of not more than 0.25% by weight. The semiaromatic polyamide has a low content of the MO components, so that mold contamination hardly brought about in the molding process, and also molded articles of good heat resistance can be produced.
