Abstract:
A thermoplastic composition, comprising;about 5 to about 95 weight percent of a poly(arylene ether); about 5 to about 95 weight percent of a polyamide; about 0.01 to about 10 weight percent of a compatibilizing agent; about 0.1 to about 20 weight percent of a polyester ionomer which is the polycondensation product of (1) an aromatic dicarboxylic acid or its ester-forming derivative; (2) a diol compound or its ester-forming derivative; and (3) an ester-forming compound containing an ionic sulfonate group; and an amount of a stabilizer effective to enhance the morphological stability of the thermoplastic composition, wherein the stabilizer comprises (a) at least one phenolic species in combination with (b) at least one thioester species, at least one organo-phosphite species, or at least one thioester species in combination with at least one organo-phosphite species; wherein weight percentages are based on the total weight of the composition.
