Patent ID: 7118691

Claim:
A composition comprising: an impact modifier; and a compatibilized blend of a poly(arylene ether) and an aliphatic-aromatic polyamide wherein, prior to forming the compatibilized blend, the aliphatic-aromatic polyamide has an amine end group content greater than 45 micromoles per gram of polyamide and the aliphatic-aromatic polyamide comprises units derived from a dicarboxylic acid wherein 60 to 100 mol % of units derived from a dicarboxylic acid are derived from terephthalic acid, and units derived from a diamine wherein 60 to 100 mol % of the units derived from a diamine are derived from 1,9-nonanediamine 2-methyl-1,8-octanediamine or a combination of 1,9-nonanediamine and 2-methyl-1,8-octanediamine and further wherein the aliphatic-aromatic polyamide has a melt viscosity greater than or equal to 200 Pascal seconds at a shear of 1000 second −1 and a temperature of 330° C. and the composition has a melt viscosity of 160 to 350 Pascal seconds at a shear of 1500 second −1 (s −1 ) and a temperature of 330° C.
