Abstract
Abstract Thermosetting resin composition comprising: A. AS A FIRST COMPONENT, POLYAMIDE WHICH IS SUBSTANTIALLY NONCRYSTALLINE AND HAS AN AVERAGE MOLECULAR WEIGHT OF LESS THAN 5,000, B. AS A SECOND COMPONENT, A COPOLYMER OF ETHYLENICALLY UNSATURATED DICARBOXYLIC ACID, ANHYDRIDE, PARTIAL ESTER, OR PARTIAL AMIDE THEREOF, MIXTURE OF TWO OR MORE OF THE FREE ACID, ANHYDRIDE, PARTIAL ESTER AND PARTIAL AMIDE, AND AN OLEFIN OR ETHYLENICALLY UNSATURATED ETHER OR ESTER, OR A MIXTURE OF TWO OR MORE OF SAID OLEFIN, ETHER, OR ESTER, THE CARBOXYL GROUP CONTENT OF COPOLYMER BEING 25-70 MOLE PERCENT, THE AVERAGE MOLECULAR WEIGHT OF THE COPOLYMER BEING LESS THAN ABOUT 5,000, C. THE WEIGHT PERCENT OF POLYAMIDE BEING 10-99 PERCENT BASED ON THE POLYAMIDE PLUS COPOLYMER. Thermoset articles produced from the resin can be transparent. The thermosetting resin, thermoset articles, the thermoset resin and the process of producing the thermoset resin are claimed.
