Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim
103 words
An oriented, shaped article in the form of a film or fiber comprising a polymer blend having a first polymer phase of para-aramid polymer with an inherent viscosity greater than 3 dl/g, said first phase comprising between about 60 and about 99.8 weight percent of said shaped article and a second polymer phase of meta-aramid polymer with an inherent viscosity greater than 0.2 dl/g, said second phase comprising between about 0.2 and about 40 weight percent of said shaped article and being present in the first phase in the form of generally discrete domains having a maximum cross-sectional dimension of about 1 micron.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
103 words
An oriented, shaped article in the form of a film or fiber comprising a polymer blend having a first polymer phase of para-aramid polymer with an inherent viscosity greater than 3 dl/g, said first phase comprising between about 60 and about 99.8 weight percent of said shaped article and a second polymer phase of meta-aramid polymer with an inherent viscosity greater than 0.2 dl/g, said second phase comprising between about 0.2 and about 40 weight percent of said shaped article and being present in the first phase in the form of generally discrete domains having a maximum cross-sectional dimension of about 1 micron.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
23 words
The shaped article of claim 1 wherein said second phase comprises between about 10 and about 40 weight percent of said shaped article.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
23 words
The shaped article of claim 1 wherein said second phase comprises between about 20 and about 30 weight percent of said shaped article.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
32 words
