Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
54 words
A composition of matter comprising a blend of: a. between about 2 and about 60 wt% glass fibers, and b. between about 40 and 98 wt% of a graft copolymer of poly(butylene terephthalate) containing between about 0.1 wt% and about 3 wt% based on poly(butylene terephthalate) of 1,4-butenediol or 3-hexene-2,5-diol with polyethylene or polypropylene.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
54 words
A composition of matter comprising a blend of: a. between about 2 and about 60 wt% glass fibers, and b. between about 40 and 98 wt% of a graft copolymer of poly(butylene terephthalate) containing between about 0.1 wt% and about 3 wt% based on poly(butylene terephthalate) of 1,4-butenediol or 3-hexene-2,5-diol with polyethylene or polypropylene.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
20 words
A composition according to claim 1 in which the graft copolymer is a graft copolymer of poly(butylene terephthalate) with polyethylene.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
20 words
A composition according to claim 1 in which the graft copolymer is a graft copolymer of poly(butylene terephthalate) with polypropylene.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
21 words
A composition according to claim 1 in which the poly(butylene terephthalate) contains between about 0.1 wt% and about 3 wt% 3-hexene-2,5-diol.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
23 words
A composition according to claim 2 in which the polyethylene has a number average molecular weight of between about 24,000 and about 290,000.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
27 words

Claim 8
Dependent Claim
30 words
A composition according to claim 1 in which the graft copolymer is produced by first forming poly (butylene terephthalate) and then polymerizing the poly (butylene terephthalate) with, polyethylene or polypropylene.
