The present invention relates to high performance polymer compositions and articles made therefrom. In particular, the present invention relates to compositions (C1) comprising from 25 to 59 wt. % of at least one poly(aryl ether sulfone) (PAES), from 1 to 35 wt. % of at least one poly(aryl ether ketone) (PAEK), from 20 to 35 wt. % at least one polyphenylene sulfide (PPS), and from 5 to 50 wt. % of glass fibers, the wt. % being based on the total weight of the polymer composition (C1).

Glass-filled polymer composition comprising a poly(aryl ether sulfone), a poly(aryl ether ketone), at least one polyphenylene sulfide and glass fibers

Medical tubing (T), such as a guidewire, a stent, a catheter or a hollow needle, made of a kinked rigid-rod polyarylene exhibiting a outstanding characteristics including high torqueability, high pushability and high flexibility and which can be easily thin-wall extruded under especially harsh conditions.

Medical tubings made of a polymer material

Medical device (&#x394;) comprising at least one part (&#x3c0;) consisting of a polymer material (M) comprising at least one kinked rigid-rod polyarylene (P) of which more than 50 wt. % of the recurring units are recurring units (R) of one or more formulae consisting of an optionally substituted arylene group which is linked by each of its two ends to two other optionally substituted arylene groups via a direct C&#x2014;C linkage. The recurring units (R) are a mix (&#x3bc;) consisting of (i) between 0 and 75 mole %, of rigid rod-forming arylene units (Ra) and (ii) between 25 and 100 mole % of kink-forming arylene units (Rb), both contents being based on the total number of moles of the recurring units (R). Arylene units (Ra) and/or (Rb) may be optionally substituted by at least one monovalent substituting group.
