A composition which is a blend of at least two different polyetheramide copolymers, one having predominantly hard polyamide segments and one having predominantly soft polyether segments. When formed into a film and attached to a textile fabric, forms a laminate which is suitable for the production of surgical gowns, and the like. Such films are strong, have good moisture barrier properties while allowing the transmission of air therethrough and have a softness to which provides a clothlike feel.

Films of blended nylon resins and laminates therefrom

A polyamide composition comprising an aliphatic polyamide such as nylon 6 and an oligomeric aromatic polyamide, such as oligomers of poly(tolylene diisophthalamide), which exhibit improved retention flexural modulus and flexural strength at ambient humidity, i.e. about 50% to about 65%.

Polyamide compositions comprising aliphatic polyamide and an aromatic

There is provided in accordance with the present invention polyphenylene ether/polyalkyleneterephthalamide compositions of high dimensional stabilities that are suitable for high temeprature applications comprising from about 20 to about 70 weight % of a functionalized polyphenylene ether; from about 20 to about 70 weight % of a polyalkyleneterephthalamide, wherein the polyalkyleneterephthalamide is derived from terephthalic acid and an .alpha.,.omega.-alkanediamine having 10 to 14 methylene groups; and from about 0 to about 20 weight % of a functionalized elastomeric polymer, wherein the blend absorbs less than 2 wt % of moisture and has a dimensional growth in water of less than 0.5%.

Polyphenylene ether/polyterephthalamide blend

Thermoplastic polymeric composition which feature good physical properties which are relatively insensitive to humidity and further exhibits good barrier properties of the composition comprise:

The invention relates to a process for producing chain extended polyamide compositions which comprise one or more polyamides and one or more lactamyl phosphites.

Process for producing and polyamide compositions comprising lactamyl

Processes for producing and polyester compositions of intermediate and high molecular weights are attained by reacting with at least one lower molecular weight polyester with an effective amount of a lactamyl phosphite as a constituent. The reaction may be carried out by blending these constituents and any other optional constituents and is preferably formed by melt blending.

Process for producing and polyester compositions comprising lactamyl

This invention relates to cyclic diamides that are readily polymerized to form poly(terephthalamides). The resulting poly(terephthalamides) have high crystallinity, high temperature capabilities, dimensional stability, low moisture sensitivity, and solvent and chemical resistance.

Preparation of polyamide from arylene cyclic diamide

Novel compositions of phosphoroustriscaprolactams, including tris(caprolactyl)phosphite which may be produced in accordance with the methods disclosed, finding particular utility as catalysts for esterification and other condensation reactions.

Phosphoroustrislactams and methods for their production

The present invention is an improved polyamide copolymer having monomer units including repeat units of the formula ##STR1## where n is from 10 to 14 and preferably is 12 (1,12-dodecanediamine), units derived from a symmetrical diacid or derivatives of said diacid, preferably a symmetrical aromatic dicarboxylic acid. The copolymer has minor amounts, preferably 3 to 30 and more preferably 5 to 10 mol percent, of units derived from an additional comonomer.

Copolymer of dodecane terephthalamide

The invention relates to improved polymer material blends which include the compatibilizing agent, a compound of phosphoroustrislactams which is useful as a compatibilizing agent, between the polymer materials. An exemplary composition comprises one or more polyphenylene oxides, one or more polyesters and the compatibilizing agent comprising phosphoroustrislactams.
