Polyamide molding materials reinforced with glass fibers and injection molded parts thereof

Abstract

The present invention relates to reinforced polyamide molding materials with high notch impact strengths, comprising low viscous polyamides and flat glass fibers as a reinforcing medium, characterized in a polyamide matrix, comprising the following components: (A) 0 to 60 wt.-% of at least one aliphatic, partly crystalline polyamide with a solution viscosity, measured in m-cresol (0.5 wt-%), of ηless than 1.9, (B) 0 to 60 wt.-% of at least one amorphous or microcrystalline polyamide based on aliphatic, cycloaliphatic or aromatic diamines, dicarboxylic acids, lactams and/or aminocarboxylic acids, preferably with 6 to 36 carbon atoms, or a mixture of such homopolyamides and/or copolyamides, wherein the components (A) and (B) fulfill the condition: (A)+(B)=20 to 60 wt.-% and that, in the case of a mixture of components (A) and (B), at least 50 weight parts aliphatic blocks (A) are present in the mixture, and a filler component, comprising: (C) 40 to 80 wt.-% flat glass fibers with elongated shape, and the glass fibers have a non-circular cross-sectional area and a size ratio of the main cross-sectional axis to the secondary cross-sectional axis of between 2 to 5, particularly between 3 and 4, and (D) 0 to 40 wt.-% particle like or layer like fillers, with the prerequisite that carbon fibers are excluded, wherein the polyamide molding materials optionally comprise up to 5 wt.-% of further usual additives and auxiliary agents (E), and wherein the weight of the components (A) to (E) sums up to 100%.
