A polyamide composition contains a) 88.5-98 wt. % of at least one aliphatic polyamide, wherein at least one monomer unit has 10 to 14 carbon atoms, and wherein the aliphatic polyamide is semi-crystalline; and b) 2-11.5 wt. % of an S glass fiber. The weight percentages of a) and b) are based on a total weight of the polyamide composition. The polyamide composition contains neither a polyolefinic impact modifier nor a core-shell modifier. A moulding material containing the polyamide composition is useful, and a moulded article can be produced from the moulding material. A shoe outsole containing the polyamide composition is also useful.

Polyamide composition

A molding compound contains polyether block amide (PEBA) based on a subunit 1 made of at least one linear aliphatic diamine having 5 to 15 C atoms and at least one linear aliphatic or aromatic dicarboxylic acid having 6 to 16 C atoms. The PEBA also contains a subunit 2 made of at least one polyether diol having at least 3 C atoms per ether oxygen and primary OH groups at the chain ends. The sum of the C atoms of diamine and dicarboxylic acid is odd and is 19 or 21, and the number-average molar mass of the subunit 2 is 200 to 900 g/mol. A molded object can be created from the molding compound, which can be a molded part, a film, a bristle, a fiber, or a foam.

Molding compound containing polyether block amide (PEBA)

A mixture contains at least one polyether block amide (PEBA) and at least one poly(meth)acrylate, selected from poly(meth)acrylimides, poly-alkyl(meth)acrylates, and mixtures thereof. The mass ratio of PEBA to poly(meth)acrylate is 95:5 to 60:40. The polyalkyl(meth)acrylate contains 80% by weight to 99% by weight of methyl methacrylate (MMA) units and 1% by weight to 20% by weight of C1-C10-alkyl acrylate units, based on the total weight of polyalkyl(meth)acrylate. The mixture can be processed to give foamed mouldings. The mouldings can be used in footwear soles, stud material, insulation or insulating material, damping components, lightweight components, or in a sandwich structure.

Polyether block amide-poly(meth)acrylate foams

A polymer composition includes a linear aliphatic polyamide having on average 10 to 14 carbon atoms in the monomer units, an S glass fibre, and a polyolefinic impact modifier. The polymer composition can achieve higher stiffness and impact strength without impairing the ductility. The polymer composition can be used as a moulding material.

Polymer composition based on linear aliphatic polyamide

A polymer composite includes a linear aliphatic semi-crystalline polyamide having on average 10 to 14 carbon atoms in the monomer units, or the compound thereof, an S glass fiber, and a core-shell impact modifier. The polymer composite can achieve higher stiffness and impact strength without impairing the transparency significantly. The polymer composite can be used as molding material.
