The processes involving the improved compositions exhibit reduced levels of screen pack plugging during fiber and film extrusion processes than that achieved with fatty acid salts, such as calcium stearate.Type: GrantFiled: August 9, 1994Date of Patent: February 8, 2000Assignee: General Electric CompanyInventors: William P. Enlow, Roger W. Avakian

Patent number: 6010760Abstract: A thermoplastic resin composition comprising a thermoplastic resin (A) not forming an anisotropic melt phase and a liquid crystal polymer (B) capable of forming an anisotropic melt phase, an injection molding method thereof and an injection molded article capable of providing a thin molded article having excellent mechanical strength. A thermoplastic resin composition (C) comprises 99 to 50 wt. % of the thermoplastic resin (A) and 1 to 50 wt. % of the liquid crystal polymer (B). The liquid crystal polymer (B) is microscopically dispersed in an island form in the matrix phase of the thermoplastic resin (A) so that when the composition (C) is heat-treated at a temperature not lower than the melting point of the liquid crystal polymer (B) under a non-load state and is then cooled, the liquid crystal polymer (B) has a weight average particle diameter within the range of 10 to 40 micrometers and at least 80 wt. % thereof has a particle diameter within the range of 0.5 to 60 micrometers.Type: GrantFiled: June 17, 1997Date of Patent: January 4, 2000Assignee: Polyplastics Co., Ltd.Inventors: Hirotaka Miyazaki, Tomoyuki Aketa, Haruji Murakami, Takayuki Ishikawa, Kazuhito Kobayashi, Ayako Migita
