Abstract
Abstract The invention relates to thermoplastic materials having the following components: (a) 5-85 parts by weight of a melted or remelted preforming material comprising (i) 60-98 parts by weight of a polyphenylene ether, (ii) 40-2 parts by weight of a polyoctenylene, and (iii) 1-7.5 parts by weight of bicyclo [2.2.2]-2,3:5,6-dibenzooctadiene-2,5-dicarboxylic acid-7,8-anhydride, and (b) 95-15 parts by weight of a polyamide comprising an aliphatic homopolyamide or a copolyamide and optionally (c) polystyrene resins, flame protection agents, and other additives, and to a method for their manufacture.
