Abstract
Abstract Styrenic resins having incorporated therein from 0.5 to 15 pbw of a copolymerizable, ethlenically unsaturated carbonamide such as acrylamide form alloys with polyamides which exhibit improved compatibility, higher heat distortion temperatures and improved Izod impact values over the range of from 5 to 95 wt. % polyamide and 95 to 5 wt. % modified styrenic resin. The alloys may further include unmodified styrenic resins, as well as conventional stabilizers, fillers and the like.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
73 words
A polymer composition comprising from 5 to 95 wt.% of a polyamide and correspondingly from 95 to 5 wt% of a resin selected from the group consisting of copolymers consisting of a styrene, an acrylonitrile and an ethylenically-unsaturated carbonamide, and graft polymers thereof on a rubbery substrate polymer, said resin having incorporated therein from about 0.5 to about 15 parts by weight of said copolymerizable ethylenically-unsaturated carbonamide per hundred parts by weight resin.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
73 words
A polymer composition comprising from 5 to 95 wt.% of a polyamide and correspondingly from 95 to 5 wt% of a resin selected from the group consisting of copolymers consisting of a styrene, an acrylonitrile and an ethylenically-unsaturated carbonamide, and graft polymers thereof on a rubbery substrate polymer, said resin having incorporated therein from about 0.5 to about 15 parts by weight of said copolymerizable ethylenically-unsaturated carbonamide per hundred parts by weight resin.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
29 words
The composition of claim 1 wherein said resin is selected from the group consisting of styrene-acrylamide-acrylonitrile copolymers and graft copolymers of styrene, acrylamide and acrylonitrile on a rubbery substrate.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
10 words
The composition of claim 1 further comprising a styrenic resin.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
78 words
A composition comprising from 5 to 95 wt% of a polyamide and correspondingly from 95 to 5 wt% of a mixture of a styrenic resin and (b) a resin selected from the group consisting of copolymers of a styrene, acrylamide and an acrylonitrile and graft polymers of a styrene, acrylamide and an acrylonitrile on a rubbery substrate, said resin having from 0.5 to 15 parts by weight of said acrylamide per hundred parts by weight of said resin.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
78 words
A composition comprising from 5 to 95 wt% of a polyamide and correspondingly from 95 to 5 wt% of a mixture of a styrenic resin and (b) a resin selected from the group consisting of copolymers of a styrene, acrylamide and an acrylonitrile and graft polymers of a styrene, acrylamide and an acrylonitrile on a rubbery substrate, said resin having from 0.5 to 15 parts by weight of said acrylamide per hundred parts by weight of said resin.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
25 words
The composition of claim 4 wherein said styrenic resin is selected from the group consisting of styrene-acrylonitrile copolymers (SAN), acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS) resins and mixtures thereof.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
28 words
The composition of claim 1 wherein said polymer composition comprises from 25 to 50 wt% of said polyamide and correspondingly from 75 to 50 wt% of said resin.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
27 words
The composition of claim 4 wherein said composition comprises from 75 to 50 wt% of said polyamide and correspondingly from 75 to 50 wt% of said mixture.
