Claims
- 1. A thermoplastic molding material comprising:
- (a) a polyphenylene ether, l
- (b) a graft polymer, comprising a hydrocarbon as the principal chain and polyphenylene ether as the side chains said graft polymer being prepared by oxidative coupling in the presence of a copper-amine catalyst,
- (c) a functionalized polyethylene, and
- (d) a polyamide.
- 2. The thermoplastic molding material of claim 1, wherein said polyphenylene ether is a poly(2,6-dimethyl-1,4-phenylene ether) with a viscosity of 0.4 to 0.7 ml/g.
- 3. The thermoplastic molding material of claim 1, wherein said graft polymer comprises:
- (i) a principal chain;
- (ii) initiating phenol groups of the formula ##STR4## which are attached to said principal chain; and (iii) side chain phenol groups of the formula ##STR5## bonded to the oxygen atom of said initiating phenol groups, wherein R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 are, independently of each other, a methyl or hydrogen; R.sub.3 is hydrogen and R.sub.4 is a tertiary alkyl group with up to 6 carbon atoms or R.sub.3 and R.sub.4 are, independently of each other, an n-alkyl group with up to 6 carbon atoms; and
- R.sub.5 and R.sub.6 are a halogen, a phenyl group or an n-alkyl group with up to 6 carbon atoms; and R.sub.7 is a halogen, a phenyl group, an n-alkyl group with up to 6 carbon atoms or a hydrogen.
- 4. The thermoplastic molding material of claim 3, wherein R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 are hydrogen.
- 5. The thermoplastic molding material of claim 3, wherein R.sub.5, R.sub.6 and R.sub.7 are methyl groups.
- 6. The thermoplastic molding material of claim 1, wherein said side chains are poly(2,6-dimethyl-1,4-phenylene ether).
- 7. The thermoplastic molding material of claim 1, wherein said principal chain is derived from a copolymer of ethylene, an alpha-olefin and a polyene.
- 8. The thermoplastic molding material of claim 1, wherein on the average per molecule, 2-70 said side chains are attached to said principal chain.
- 9. The thermoplastic molding material of claim 8, wherein on the average per molecule, 5-30 said chains are attached to said principal chain.
- 10. The thermoplastic molding material of claim 1, wherein said functionalized polyethylene is an ethylene copolymer comprising epoxy, anhydride, carboxylic acid, ester or amide groups.
- 11. The thermoplastic molding material of claim 1, wherein said functionalized polyethylene is a product prepared by the reaction of
- (i) polyethylene or ethylene copolymers with other olefins; and
- (ii) olefinically unsaturated compounds containing at least one epoxy, anhydride, carboxylic acid, ester or amide group
- 12. The thermoplastic molding material of claim 1, wherein said polyamide is a partially crystalline homopolyamide with a relative viscosity of 1.2-2.4.
- 13. A thermoplastic molding material comprising:
- (a) polyphenylene ether,
- (b) a graft polymer, comprising a hydrocarbon as the principle chain and polyphenylene ether as the side chains, wherein said principle chain is a copolymer of ethylene, an alpha-olefin and a polyene,
- (c) a functional polyethylene, wherein said functionalized polyethylene is an ethylene copolymer comprising epoxy, anhydride, carboxylic acid, ester or amide groups, and
- (d) a polyamide.
