Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 18
Claim 1
Independent Claim
100 words
A polymer blend which comprises an admixture of (a) from 60 to 97 parts by weight of nylon and (b) correspondingly from 40 to 3 parts by weight of an ionic elastomeric adduct containing carboxylic groups, which is a neutralized sulfonated copolymer of ethylene, an alpha-olefin having from 3 to 10 carbon atoms, and a copolymerizable non-conjugated diene, said adduct having succinic acid groups attached thereto, the sulfonic acid content being from 1 to 30 milliequivalents per 100 grams, and the carboxylic content calculated as maleic anhydride being from 0.1 to 10% based on the total weight of the elastomer.
