Patent ID: 7132063

Claim:
A composition comprising: a first impact modifier comprising a block copolymer of an alkenyl aromatic compound and a conjugated diene, a hydrogenated block copolymer of an alkenyl aromatic compound and a conjugated diene or a combination thereof; a second impact modifier comprising a functionalized elastomeric polyolefin wherein the functionalized elastomeric polyolefin comprises at least one functional group selected from the group consisting of carboxylic acid, ester, acid anhydride, epoxy, oxazoline, carbodiimide, isocyanate, silanol, carboxylate, and combinations of two or more of the foregoing functional groups; 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 of 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 units or a combination of 1,9-nonanediamine and 2-methyl-1,8-octanediamine and further wherein the compatibilized blend of poly(arylene ether) and an aliphatic-aromatic polyamide is the reaction product of the poly(arylene ether), the aliphatic-aromatic polyamide, and a monomeric compatibilizing agent.
