Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
129 words
A thermoplastic molding composition comprising (i) conductive particles, in the form of flakes selected from the group consisting of metals, metal oxides and metal alloys, characterized in that their resistivity, in micro-ohms-centimeter at 20° C., is below 15 and in that their largest dimension does not exceed 0.250 inches and (ii) a resinous blend of a polycarbonate resin and an ABS resin prepared by either bulk or mass suspension polymerization having a particle size distribution ranging from about 0.2 to about 10 microns said blend being characterized in that the weight of said polycarbonate relates to that of said ABS at from about 30/70 to about 70/30, said conductive particles being present in an amount of at least 8% relative to the volume of said (i) plus said (ii).
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
129 words
A thermoplastic molding composition comprising (i) conductive particles, in the form of flakes selected from the group consisting of metals, metal oxides and metal alloys, characterized in that their resistivity, in micro-ohms-centimeter at 20° C., is below 15 and in that their largest dimension does not exceed 0.250 inches and (ii) a resinous blend of a polycarbonate resin and an ABS resin prepared by either bulk or mass suspension polymerization having a particle size distribution ranging from about 0.2 to about 10 microns said blend being characterized in that the weight of said polycarbonate relates to that of said ABS at from about 30/70 to about 70/30, said conductive particles being present in an amount of at least 8% relative to the volume of said (i) plus said (ii).
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
