Claim 1
Independent Claim
204 words
A moulded article consisting essentially of a matrix of thermoplastic polymer selected from olefine and fluoroolefine polymers, linear polyesters, vinyl ester and vinyl chloride polymers, polycarbonates, acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene copolymers, poly-(phenylene oxides) and poly(phenylene sulphides) in which there is dispersed, in the form of particles of mean diameter less than 200μ, a polyimide resin consisting essentially of the reaction product of (a) a bis-imide of the formula: ##STR22## and (b) a diamine of the formula: NH.sub.2 -- B -- NH.sub.2 (II) in which formulae the symbol Y represents H, CH 3 or Cl, and the symbols A and B, which may be identical or different, represent a phenylene or cyclohexylene radical or a radical ##STR23## wherein T represents --CH 2 , --C(CH 3 ) 2 --, --O--, --SO 2 --or --S--, the bis-imide/diamine molar ratio being greater than 1, including a polyimide resin modified by using, in addition to the bis-imide (I) and the diamine (II): a monomide; a primary monoamine; a secondary monoamine; a polyamine; a monomer, other than a maleimide, containing polymerizable CH 2 = C < groups or an unsaturated polyester; and the amount of polyimide resin constituting from 30 to 75% of the weight of the mixture of matrix + polyimide resin.
