Thermoplastic molding materials

Claim 1

A thermoplastic molding material containing, as essential components, A) from 5 to 94% by weight of a polyamide, B) from 5 to 94% by weight of a modified polyphenylene ether previously prepared from b 1 ) 4.95-99.95% by weight of a polyphenylene ether, b 2 ) 0-90% by weight of a vinylaromatic polymer, b 3 ) 0.05-10% by weight of a monomer selected from the group consisting of b 31 ) fumaric acid, b 32 ) a maleimide of the formula I ##STR10## where R 1 , R 2 and R 3 are each hydrogen or an alkyl, alkoxy, cycloalkyl, alkenyl, aryl, arylene or alkylene group of 1 to 12 carbon atoms, b 33 ) a monomer containing amide groups and a polymerizable double bond, b 34 ) a monomer containing lactam groups and a polymerizable double bond, b 35 ) a half-ester or half-amide of an α, β-unsaturated dicarboxylic acid and a mixture of two or more of the monomers b 31 to b 35 , b 4 ) 0-80% by weight of further graft-active monomers and b 5 ) 0-20% by weight of a free radical initiator, C) from 1 to 20% by weight of a partially hydrogenated PQP' block copolymer, where α) the blocks P and P' consist of vinylaromatic monomers and the total amount of these blocks in the block copolymer is from 25 to 40% by weight, β) the number average molecular weight of block P is not more than 8,000 and is smaller than the number average molecular weight of block P', γ) block Q consists of conjugated diene monomers and accounts in total for from 60 to 75% by weight of the block copolymer and δ) from 5 to 30% by weight of the double bonds in block Q are not hydrogenerated, and (D) from 0 to 50% by weight of a vinylaromatic polymer.
