Claims
- 1. A composition comprising
- (A) from 99.9 to 90 weight percent, based on the weight of the composition, of a copoly(arylene sulfide) corresponding to the structure
- [(--A--S--).sub.1-x (--A--S--S--).sub.x ].sub.n
- wherein A is a divalent substituted or unsubstituted aromatic radical, x is in the range of 0.5 to 0.001 and n is at least 25, and
- (B) from 0.1 to 10 weight percent, based on the weight of the composition, of a maleated ethylene-propylene rubber having an amount of ethylene in the range of 40 to 90 mole percent and an amount of propylene in the range of 60 to 10 mole percent, based on the total moles of ethylene and propylene.
- 2. The composition of claim 1 wherein the divalent aromatic radical is provided by diiodobenzene, diiodonaphthalene or diiodobiphenyl.
- 3. The composition of claim 1 wherein the divalent aromatic radical is p-diiodobenzene, m-diiodobenzene, p,p'-diiodobiphenyl, p,p'-diiododiphenyl ether or 2,6-diiodonaphthalene.
- 4. A composition comprising
- (A) from 99 to 90 weight percent, based on the weight of the composition, of a copoly(phenylene sulfide) corresponding to the structure
- [(--A--S--).sub.1-x (--A--S--S--).sub.x ].sub.n
- wherein A is a divalent phenylene radical, x is in the range of 0.5 to 0.001 and n is at least 50, and
- (B) from 1 to 10 weight percent, based on the weight of the composition, of a maleated ethylene-propylene rubber having an amount of ethylene in the range of 50 to 75 mole percent and an amount of propylene in the range of 50 to 25 mole percent, based on the total moles of ethylene and propylene.
