Patent number: 4987188Abstract: A method of producing an impact modified polymer comprises dissolving a high-temperature polyetherimide and a high-temperature fluorelastomer in a common solvent to form a single phase solution which is heated to a temperature that would normally vaporize the solvent. The solution is maintained at an elevated pressure to avoid vaporization of the solvent. After being heated at the elevated temperature, the solution is subjected to flash evaporation by introducing the solution into a zone of reduced pressure. This forms a blend of the polyetherimide into which the fluorelastomer is micro-dispersed. A composition of matter formed by the method advantageously includes a solid component having 90% by weight ULTEM 1000 polyetherimide and 10% by weight VITON A fluorelastomer.

Patent number: 4859715Abstract: This invention provides a method for the preparation of an article from a blend of at least two molecularly compatible polymers by treating the blend with a solvent which is a solvent for one of the polymers and a non-solvent for the other. The solvent can be removed while the article is restrained from undergoing substantial shrinkage, in which case a microporous article is obtained. Alternatively, the solvent can be removed while the article is permitted to shrink. In this case high shrinkage force (also referred to as recovery force) results which can be utilized to apply the article to a substrate. The final and intermediate articles are novel.

Patent number: 4816516Abstract: This invention is a polyimide resin composition containing 100 parts by weight of polyimide having recurring units of the following formula: ##STR1## wherein Y is a bond, divalent hydrocarbon radical having from 1 to 10 carbons, hexafluorinated isopropylidene radical, carbonyl radical, thio radical, sulfinyl radical, sulfonyl radical or oxide, and R is a tetravalent radical of aliphatic radical having at least 2 carbons, alicyclic radical, monoaromatic radical, condensed polyaromatic radical, or noncondensed polyaromatic radical wherein aromatic radicals are mutually connected with a bond or a crosslinking function and from 5 to 100 parts by weight of fluororesin. The resin composition can provide molded products which are excellent in high-temperature stability, dimensional stability and mechanical strength and moreover have a low friction coefficient and good wear resistance. Therefore, the composition is useful as the material for electric and electronic devices, precision instrument parts etc.Type: GrantFiled: June 19, 1987Date of Patent: March 28, 1989Assignee: Mitsui Toatsu Chemicals, Inc.Inventors: Norimasa Yamaya, Nobuhito Koga, Kenichi Baba

Patent number: 4468506Abstract: Disclosed are blends of two or more polyetherimides. Such blends generally exhibit a high glass transition temperature, e.g., from about 125.degree. to about 210.degree. C., which makes the blends particularly suitable for automotive and appliance applications.Type: GrantFiled: December 21, 1983Date of Patent: August 28, 1984Assignee: General Electric CompanyInventors: Fred Holub, Daniel E. Floryan, Dwain M. White

Patent number: 4448937Abstract: Blends of polyetherimides and block poly(esteramides) may contain about 99-1% by weight of the former and about 1-99% of the latter. Particularly useful are polyetherimides containing about 1-30% of the block poly(esteramide), which have improved impact strength and resistance to brittleness. The blends may also contain at least one poly(alkylene dicarboxylate) as a compatibility improver.Type: GrantFiled: April 21, 1983Date of Patent: May 15, 1984Assignee: General Electric CompanyInventors: Richard C. Bopp, Joseph C. Golba, Jr., Scott A. White

Patent number: 4444958Abstract: Nylon molding powders are prepared by melt blending a nylon with a minor amount of a heat reactive polyimide resin. The mixture is cooled and ground and mixed with the desired filler. The heat reactive polyimide increases the melt viscosity of the nylon during subsequent melt forming of shapes so that the filler particles are not wet out or their interstices filled leaving them as discrete clusters of filler material held in pockets in the nylon/polyimide matrix. By these means, the filler material is more effective in contributing desired properties to a molded article.Type: GrantFiled: April 14, 1982Date of Patent: April 24, 1984Assignee: The Polymer CorporationInventor: Richard C.
