35 words
A composition comprising: (a) poly(arylene sulfide), and (b) about 0.1 to about 100 parts by weight of an amorphous polyamide per 100 parts poly(arylene sulfide); wherein said amorphous polyamide has less than about 20% crystallinity.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
21 words
A composition in accordance with claim 1 wherein the weight ratio of (b) to (a) is about 0.5:100 to about 50:100.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
149 words
A composition in accordance with claim 1 wherein said amorphous polyamide is defined by the following formula: ##STR2## wherein each R and R 1 is independently an alkylene radical having one to about 15 carbon atoms; or a cycloalkylene or arylene radical having about 3 to about 16 carbon atoms; or a mixed alkyl-cycloalkyl radical having from about 6 to about 20 carbon atoms; or R can also be represented by structure (II): ##STR3## wherein each R 2 and R 3 is independently hyrogen, an alkyl radical having from one to about 15 carbon atoms, a cycloalkyl radical having from about three to about 16 carbon atoms, a mixed alkyl-cycloalkyl radical having from about 6 to about 20 carbon atoms, or an aryl radical having from about 6 to about 20 carbon atoms; and wherein n is a whole number within the range of about 10 to about 500,000.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
86 words
A composition in accordance with claim 1 wherein said amorphous polyamide is selected from the group consisting of: a 50:50 mole ratio copolymer of 2,2'-bis(4-amino cyclohexyl) propane and a 60/40 weight percent mixture of azelaic acid and adipic acid; an amorphous polyamide derived from a 50:50 ratio of hexamethylene diamine and an equal mixture of terephthalic acid and isophthalic acid; an amorphous polyamide derived from isophthalic acid/bis-4-amino-3-methyl cyclohexyl methane/lauryl lactam; and an amorphous polyamide derived from dimethylterephthalate and a 50:50 mixture of 2,2,4- and 2,4,4-trimethylhexamethylene diamine.
