Patent ID: 8597788

Claim:
A conductive wire comprising: a conductor; and a covering disposed over the conductor wherein the covering comprises a thermoplastic composition and the thermoplastic composition comprises: a first polysiloxane/polyimide block copolymer having a first siloxane content in weight percent, based on the total weight of the first block copolymer, and comprising repeating extended siloxane units of Formula (I) a second polysiloxane/polyimide block copolymer having a second siloxane content in weight percent, based on the total weight of the second block copolymer, and comprising repeating extended siloxane units of Formula (I) wherein R 1-6 are independently at each occurrence selected from the group consisting of substituted or unsubstituted, saturated, unsaturated or aromatic monocyclic and polycyclic groups having 5 to 30 carbon atoms, substituted or unsubstituted alkyl groups having 1 to 30 carbon atoms and substituted or unsubstituted alkenyl groups having 2 to 30 carbon atoms, V is a tetravalent linker selected from the group consisting of substituted or unsubstituted, saturated, unsaturated or aromatic monocyclic and polycyclic groups having 5 to 50 carbon atoms, substituted or unsubstituted alkyl groups having 1 to 30 carbon atoms, substituted or unsubstituted alkenyl groups having 2 to 30 carbon atoms and combinations comprising at least one of the foregoing linkers, g equals 1 to 30, and d is greater than or equal to 1 and wherein the first siloxane content equals the second siloxane content, the first and second siloxane content is 5 to 30 weight percent based on the total weight of the block copolymer, and the value of d for the first polysiloxane/polyimide block copolymer does not equal the value of d for the second polysiloxane/polyimide block copolymer.
