Abstract:
An article of manufacture comprising a polyester composition, the article comprising, as measured by differential scanning calorimetry with a heating rate of 20 C per minute on first heating according to ASTM D3418, at least two different crystalline melting temperatures, wherein a first crystalline melting temperature and a second crystalline melting temperature are each independently 200-290 C; and a first heat of fusion and a second heat of fusion that are each independently at least 3 J/g, preferably wherein a ratio of the first heat of fusion to the second heat of fusion is 1:5-5:1, wherein the polyester composition comprises a first polyester having a phosphorous content of greater than or equal to 20 ppm, a second polyester, and 5-50 weight percent of a plurality of fibers, based on the total weight of the polyester composition, wherein the plurality of fibers have a diameter of 5-25 micrometers.
Abstract:
A polyetherimide composition includes specific amounts of a polyetherimide, a block polyestercarbonate, a block poly-carbonate-polysiloxane, and a core-shell impact modifier in which the core includes a polysiloxane and the shell includes a poly(alkyl (meth)acrylate). Relative to a corresponding composition lacking the core-shell impact modifier, the polyetherimide composition exhibits increased impact strength while substantially retaining flame retardancy. Also described are associated articles, including articles formed by additive manufacturing, and a method of additive manufacturing.

Abstract:
Disclosed herein are compositions and methods for the manufacture of polycarbonate blend compositions containing recycle for improvement in surface aesthetics. The resulting compositions, can be used in the manufacture of articles while still retaining the advantageous physical properties of polycarbonate blend reference compositions that do not contain recycle material. This abstract is intended as a scanning tool for purposes of searching in the particular art and is not intended to be limiting of the present invention.
