Disclosed are polyesteramide resin compositions having amide units of formula (I): ##STR1## and the units of the formula (II): ##STR2## wherein the polyesteramide is substantially devoid of units derived from butane diol. The ratio of (I) to (II) in the polyesteramide is preferably less than 1:3. Preferred polyesteramides have at least 80% of units of formula (I) separated by at least one of the units of formula (II).

Polycarbonate compositions comprising copolymers of bis-(4-hydroxyphenyl)methane and 2,2-bis-(4-hydroxyphenyl)propane are described and they unexpectedly display high glass transition temperatures, high impact resistances, flame retardant properties and superior brittle ductile transition temperature.

Flame retardant polycarbonate compositions

Articles manufactured with a composition comprising a polymer of an unsaturated hydrocarbon, a C.sub.1-4 alkyl or hydroxyalkylether of starch having a degree of substitution of at least 0.25, and a polyhydric aliphatic alcohol having 2 to 10 carbon atoms and 2 to 6 hydroxyl groups; wherein the compatibilizing agent can be a vinyl copolymer, acrylic copolymer and mixtures thereof. The composition can be used in the preparation of biodegradable plastics.

A composition comprising a polymer of an unsaturated hydrocarbon, a C.sub.1-4 alkyl or hydroxyalkylether of starch having a degree of substitution of at least 0.25, and a polyhydric aliphatic alcohol having 2 to 10 carbon atoms and 2 to 6 hydroxyl groups wherein the compatibilizing agent can be a vinyl copolymer, acrylic polymer and mixtures thereof. The composition can be used in the preparation of biodegradable plastics.

Polyphenylene ethers may show the property that their molecular weight increases considerably upon extrusion. This increase of the molecular weight leads to less good flow properties. It has been found that the addition of a conjugated, non-aromatic diene compound or of a dienophilic compound suppresses the increase of the molecular weight under extrusion.

A composition comprising a polymer of an unsaturated hydrocarbon, a C.sub.1-4 alkyl or hydroxyalkylether of starch having a degree of substitution of at least 0.25, and a polyhydric aliphatic alcohol having 2 to 10 carbon atoms and 2 to 6 hydroxyl groups wherein the compatibilizing agent can be a vinyl copolymer, acrylic copolymer and mixtures thereof. The composition can be used in the preparation of biodegradable plastics.

The flame-retardant properties of polymers with an aromatic main chain can be improved by incorporating therein a fluorine compound in combination with a boron compound.

Polymer containing fluorinated polymer and boron compound

A thermally stable polyphenylene ether composition having long glass fibers of at least 4 mm length incorporated therein. A suitable high temperature binder such as polyethyloxazoline may be included in the composition, as well as a flame retardant additive or other filler.

Composition comprising a polyphenylene-ether-containing polymeric

The invention relates to a method of preparing aromatic polycarbonate according to the two-phase interface process. The molecular weight is controlled by the addition of a chain stopper. The use of a phenolic chloroformate as a chain stopper leads to a polycarbonate having a low content of volatile constituents.

Method of preparing an aromatic polycarbonate with phenolic

The invention relates to thermoplastic polymer mixtures based on a polyphenylene ether which comprise an aromatic phosphate compound and a polyfunctional diene compound. The polymer mixtures according to the invention have a reduced sensitivity to stresses in the presence of solvents and an improved notch impact value in comparison with polymer mixtures not comprising a polyfunctional diene compound.

Thermoplastic polymer mixture comprising polyfunctional diene compounds

The sensitivity to stresses and the melt strength of thermoplastic polymer mixtures which comprise a polyphenylene ether and a polyvinyl aromatic compound can be improved by the addition of a polyfunctional dienophilic compound, for example, a bismaleimide or of a polyfunctional conjugated diene compound, for example, divinyl benzene.

Polyphenylene ether compositions containing polyfunctional compounds

The invention relates to polymer mixtures which comprise a polyphenylene ether which have been stabilized with oxalyldihydrazide against oxidative degradation.
