Abstract

Abstract A blend comprising a polyalkylene terephthalate resin, an organopolysiloxane-polycarbonate block copolymer and a calcium carbonate filler having improved warp and impact properties. The polymer blends can be molded or formed into films, sheets, fibers, laminates, or other improved molded articles of manufacture including reinforced articles by conventional techniques.
