A polyamide molding composition (C) is provided and comprises at least one polyamide (P1) comprising recurring units (R) according to formula (I): Wherein n varies between 4 and 18, inclusive, and Ris a mixture of m-xylylene (MX) and p-xylylene (PX) in a mol.% ratio varying between 1:99 and 99:1. The polyamide molding composition (C) further comprises at least one polymer (P2). The weight ratio of P1/P2 varies between 15/1 and 1/1 and polymer (P2) comprises recurring units (R) according to formula (V): Wherein m varies between 6 and 18 and Ris p-xylylene (PX). The polyamide molding compositing (C) optionally comprises at least one reinforcing agent, and/or at least one component selected from the group consisting of tougheners, plasticizers, colorants, pigments, antistatic agents, dyes, lubricants, thermal stabilizers, light stabilizers, flame retardants, nucleating agents and antioxidants.

Hot-water moldable polyamide molding compositions

Toughened poly(aryl ether sulfone)/poly(aryl ether ketone) blends. The present invention relates to polymer compositions including at least one poly(aryl ether sulfone) (PASS) polymer, at least one poly(aryletherketone) (PAEK) polymer, and at least one impact modifier (IM). The polymer composition may optionally include at least one aromatic polycarbonate (PC) and/or titanium dioxide (TiO), The polymer composition is particularly suitable for use in mobile electronic devices.

Toughened poly(aryl ether sulfone)/poly(aryl ether ketone) blends

The invention pertains to a framing structure for a solar panel made from a polymer composition (C) comprising at least one polyamide polymer [polyamide (A)], and at least one reinforcing filler [filler (F)], the framing structure being characterized by having a top surface and a bottom surface, said top surface having a depressed central portion sized for receiving a solar panel. It also relates to a method for manufacturing the same, to a method for assembly a solar panel into said framing structure, to a solar panel assembly comprising the same, and to a method for fixing said solar panel assembly onto a support (e.g. a roof).

Framing structure for a solar panel

The invention relates to polyamide composition comprising at least one polyamide featuring a melting temperature (Tm), at least one metal oxide selected from magnesium oxide, zinc oxide and calcium oxide, and titanium dioxide, said composition featuring an intrinsic melt viscosity of below 800 Pa&#xb7;s as measured according to ASTM D3835-08 at a moisture content as measured according to ASTM D6869-03 in the range of 150-500 ppm at a shear rate of 400 sand at a temperature ranging from [(Tm max)+10&#xb0; C.] to [(Tm max)+20&#xb0; C.] where (Tm max) is the highest of all melting temperatures (Tm). Invented compositions feature high reflectivity in the molded part with high retention of whiteness and reflectivity after heat aging. This unique combination of properties makes the compositions according to the invention most suitable for LED applications.

Polyamide compositions for LED applications

The present invention relates to stain- or dye-resistant articles comprising a polymer composition comprising at least one semi-aromatic polyamide comprising recurring units resulting from the condensation of terephthalic acid and at least one aliphatic diamine comprising more than 8 carbon atoms, at least one filler and from 0.1 to 35 wt. % of at least one white pigment, based on the total weight of the composition.
