Abstract:
1. A curable polyamide-filled acrylate polymer composition consisting essentially of A. a polymer blend composition comprising B. a peroxide curative; and C. a reinforcing filler, the reinforcing filler being present in the curable acrylate polymer composition in an amount that causes an increase in the Shore A hardness of the cured acrylate polymer composition of no more than about 20 points as compared to the Shore A hardness of a control composition that is of identical composition but for the absence of the reinforcing filler, wherein i) the curable acrylate polymer composition and control composition are formed into test specimens of 1 mm to 2.5 mm thickness, cured by exposure to a temperature of 175° C. for 10 minutes in a closed mold at a pressure of at least 10 MPa, ii) Shore A hardness of the cured acrylate copolymer composition and control composition is determined according to ASTM D2240-06 (1 second reading), and iii) and the cured acrylate polymer composition has a Shore A hardness greater than 40.
