A polyphenylene ether composition comprises polyphenylene ether, optionally styrene resin, and a diamide represented by the formulawherein R' is a C<sub>1-10</sub> linear or branched saturated or unsaturated aliphatic hydrocarbon residue, an alicyclic hydrocarbon residue, an aromatic hydrocarbon residue, or such a residue having one or more substituents; and R<sup>2</sup> and R<sup>3</sup>, which may be the same of different, are each a C<sub>1-10</sub> linear or branched saturated or unsaturated aliphatic hydrocarbon residue, an alicyclic hydrocarbon residue or an aromatic hydrocarbon residue, or such a residue having one or more substituents.The composition has improved processability, due to high flowability, with a minimum decrease in heat resistance. |
