Novel thermoplastic polymer alloys adopted for easy conversion, e.g., by injection molding or extrusion techniques, into useful shaped articles having improved mechanical properties, for example, high impact strengths, include a polyamide, e.g., nylon 6 or nylon 12, a thermoplastic elastomer, e.g., ABS, MBS or EPDM, and a polyetheramide, advantageously a polyetheresteramide.

A composition consisting essentially of a polyvinylidene fluoride polymer or copolymer having distributed substantially uniformly therethrough elastomeric particles, said elastomer being capable of absorbing hydrocarbons and fixing them in the composition and being present in an amount sufficient to increase the elongation and flexibility of the composition in the presence of hydrocarbons and shaped articles made therefrom.

The invention relates to a fire-resistant synthetic resin composition containing a polycarbonate, more specifically a bisphenol A derivative, a phosphorous fireproofing additive derived from phosphonic acid, and possibly other additives and/or fillers. The fireproofing additive is a Li, Na or K hemiester of a phosphonic acid derived from an aromatic or cycloaliphatic hydrocarbon, or from a polynuclear aromatic compound, and is added at the rate of 0.01 to 0.4 weight % in relation to polycarbonate. This small amount of additive improves the fire-resistant properties of the polycarbonate, without affecting its mechanical properties.

Hydrolysis-resistant copolyether-esteramides according to this invention are terminated, at one chain end, by a hydrocarbon radical and at the other chain end by a hydroxyl group. The sequential linear aliphatic copolyether-esteramides according to the invention are obtained by a polycondensation reaction of linear aliphatic dicarboxylic polyamide oligomers having a molecular weight comprised between 300 and 15,000, with .omega.-.omega.'-dihydroxyl polyoxyalkylene sequences having a molecular weight comprised between 100 and 6000 in the presence of a linear aliphatic monocarboxylic polyamide oligomer having a carboxyl group at one end of the macromolecular chain and a hydrocarbon radical at the other end thereof.

Thermoplastic polymer cover for golf balls. The thermoplastic polymer material constituting the cover consists of a poly(ether-ester-amide) sequenced copolycondensate having special characteristics. Such a cover has good mechanical characteristics and confers on the golf balls so covered a satisfactory 'feel' and 'click'.

Copolyetheresteramide based compositions which are stable with respect to the effects of heat, light and oxygen are disclosed. From about 0.05 to about 5% of 4-4'-bis-(.alpha.-.alpha.'-dimethylbenzyl)-diphenylamide either alone or in combination with 0.01 to 2% of cuprous iodide and potassium iodide such that the ratio of CuI to KI is between 0.1 and 1.9 is added to the copolyetheresteramide to form a stable composition.
