A non-halogenated, fire retardant, expandable poly (arylene ether)/polystyrene blends is produced by the method comprising, in a first step, forming a fire retardant mixture comprising a non-halogenated fire retardant, poly(arylene ether) resin and polystyrene resin by intimately mixing in melt; and in a second step, forming the non-halogenated, fire retardant, expandable poly (arylene ether)/polystyrene blend by intimately mixing in melt the fire retardant mixture with a blowing agent.

Preparation of flame retardant expandable poly(arylene ether)/polystyrene compositions

Flame retardant expandable poly(arylene ether)/polystyrene compositions and preparation thereof

The invention relates to methods of capping poly(phenylene ether) resin having an intrinsic viscosity between 0.05 and 0.35 dl/g. More particularly, the methods comprise capping a poly(phenylene ether) resin having an intrinsic viscosity between 0.05 and 0.35 dl/g in a solvent to produce a capped poly(phenylene ether) resin having an intrinsic viscosity between 0.05 and 0.35 dl/g and isolating the capped poly(phenylene ether) resin by removal of the solvent, preferably in a process other than precipitation. The invention also relates to the capped poly(phenylene ether) resin having an intrinsic viscosity between 0.05 and 0.35 dl/g.

Capping of polyphenylene ether resin

The present invention relates to flame retardant compositions of compatibilized polyphenylene ether-polyamide resin blends containing at least one phosphoramide compound. The present invention also relates to articles made from the resin compositions as well as methods to make flame retardant compositions of compatibilized polyphenylene ether-polyamide resin blends.
