Patent ID: 7182886

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 the 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 units or a combination of 1,9-nonanediamine and 2-methyl-1,8-octanediamine and further wherein when the composition is formed, the poly(arylene ether) is dispersed in the polyamide as particles and the poly(arylene ether) particles have an average particle area less than or equal to 0.6 square micrometers and further wherein the composition, in the absence of filler and/or reinforcing agent, has a multi-axial loss less than or equal to 0.27, determined using multi-axial impact values measured according to ASTM D3763.
