Abstract
Abstract Thermoplastic blend compositions comprise a polyphenylene ether resin, a polyamide resin and a compatibilizing agent present in an amount sufficient to effect compatibilization of the polyphenylene ether resin and the polyamide resin. The compatibilizing agent comprises a compound selected from the group consisting of tetracarboxylic acids of aromatic and alicyclic compounds and dianhydride derivatives thereof, and halogen substituted phthalic anhydrides.
