The subject invention discloses a thermoplastic composition which is comprised of a blend of a thermoplastic resin and an elastomer, wherein said thermoplastic resin is selected from the group consisting of polyphenylene ether and polystyrene, wherein said elastomer is comprised of a conjugated diene selected from 1,3-butadiene and isoprene, wherein said elastomer is highly branched, wherein said elastomer is characterized by having a G' and G'' frequency crossover of no more than 4 radians/s at...

Thermoplastic polyurethanes are obtainable by reacting (a) isocyanates with (b1) polyesterdiols having a melting point greater than 150.degree. C., (b2) polyetherdiols and/or polyesterdiols, each having a melting point of less than 150.degree. C. and a molecular weight of from 501 to 8000 g/mol, and, if required, (c) diols having a molecular weight of from 62 to 500 g/mol.

A method for producing a tube section from thermoplastic material, in which a tube section is extruded by means of an extruder which is provided with an extruder die having an inner core, which inner core defines an axial hollow space in the tube section, the tube section coming out of the extruder die downstream of the extruder die being internally cooled by means of an internal cooling member and externally cooled by means of an external cooling device.Immediately after the tube section leaves...

A thermoplastic can (1) comprising a thermoplastic body (2) having a disc like top (3) moulded as one with a tubular element (5) defining the sides of the body (2) and extending downwardly from the peripheral portions of the top (3); an openable portion associated with the top to facilitate use of the can contents by an end user, a thermoplastic base member (7) having an externally directed protrusion (8) engaged in a relatively thin walled recess (9) in the radially internally facing lower peri...

A thermoplastic polyurethane useful for elastomers, elastic fibers and artificial leathers contains a polyaddition product of a diisocyanate and a chain extender with a liquid polyethercarbonate diol which is a reaction product of a carbonate compound with a polyether diol having structural units (a) (--(CH.sub.2).sub.6--O--) and at least one member of structural units (b) (--(CH.sub.2).sub.2--O) and (c) (--CH.sub.2CH(CH.sub.3)--O--), and in which the units (b) are present in an average number (...

Disclosed is a product and process for a substantially halogen-free thermoplastic elastomer. The thermoplastic elastomer can be incorporated into a decorative surface covering as a binder with the addition of an optional filler. The substantially halogen-free thermoplastic comprises the combination of a dynamically vulcanized blend of epoxidized natural rubber (ENR), ionomers and a diluent polymer such as ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA). The combination produces a pliable and flexible flooring prod...

A thermoplastic composition comprising, 1 to 30 weight percent of a cycloaliphatic polyester; and greater than or equal to 40 weight percent of a polyorganosiloxane/polycarbonate block copolymer.

A capacitor section has convolutely wound metal electrodes separated by at least one film of a polyolefin dielectric material. The volume ratio of polyolefin to metal electrode is at least 3:2. Electrode leads are in contact with the electrodes. An encapsulating jacket surrounds and is thermally bonded to said section. The jacket is of the same species as that of the dielectric film.

A thermoplastic film containing a core layer and an enhanced printing skin layer. The core layer comprises an orientation enhancing polymer, a polypropylene homopolymer, and a beta-crystal nucleators of polypropylene. The thermoplastic film may be used to enhance printing and where breathable films with good water vapor transmission are desired.

The invention generally relates to thermoplastic blends having improved properties. Optionally, these blends may be dynamically vulcanized. More specifically, this invention is directed to a composition comprising a blend of chloromethylated(styrene-isobutylene) polymer and a thermoplastic resin selected from the group consisting of polyamides, polyesters, polycarbonates, polysulfones, polyacetals, polyacetones, acrylonitrile-butadiene styrene resins, polyphenylene oxide, polyphenylene sulfide, ...
