Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
204 words
A thermoplastic blended resin composition comprising the following resin components: 1. 15 to 80% by weight of a polyphenylene ether having a polymer unit of the general formula ##SPC7## wherein R 1 and R 2 may be in the same or different and represent a methyl or ethyl group and n is a positive integer of at least 50; 2. 5 to 60% by weight of a styrene resin of at least one member selected from the group consisting of styrene homopolymers, styrene copolymers, rubber-modified polystyrenes and high impact polystyrenes and containing at least 70% of structural units of the general formula ##SPC8## wherein R 3 is a hydrogen atom or lower alkyl group, X is a halogen atom selected from chlorine and bromine, and m is zero or integer of 1 or 2; and 3. 2-15% by weight of an aromatic polycarbonate composed of recuring units of the general formula ##SPC9## wherein R 4 and R 5 may be the same or different, and represent a hydrogen atom or a lower alkyl group, and X and m are the same as defined above; the total amount of (1), (2) and (3) being 100% by weight based on the total weight of the resin.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
204 words
A thermoplastic blended resin composition comprising the following resin components: 1. 15 to 80% by weight of a polyphenylene ether having a polymer unit of the general formula ##SPC7## wherein R 1 and R 2 may be in the same or different and represent a methyl or ethyl group and n is a positive integer of at least 50; 2. 5 to 60% by weight of a styrene resin of at least one member selected from the group consisting of styrene homopolymers, styrene copolymers, rubber-modified polystyrenes and high impact polystyrenes and containing at least 70% of structural units of the general formula ##SPC8## wherein R 3 is a hydrogen atom or lower alkyl group, X is a halogen atom selected from chlorine and bromine, and m is zero or integer of 1 or 2; and 3. 2-15% by weight of an aromatic polycarbonate composed of recuring units of the general formula ##SPC9## wherein R 4 and R 5 may be the same or different, and represent a hydrogen atom or a lower alkyl group, and X and m are the same as defined above; the total amount of (1), (2) and (3) being 100% by weight based on the total weight of the resin.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
