(57) [Summary] (Modified) [Objective] To provide a thermoplastic composition containing a polyphenylene ether polymer and a polyamide and having an improved melt strength. [Structure] Polyphenylene ether (eg, poly (2,6 -Dimethyl-1,4-phenylene) ether) and a polyamide, the polyamide comprising a diamine (eg trimethylenediamine), a secondary amine selected from secondary triamines and polyamines (eg bishexamethylenetriamine). And a dicarboxylic acid (eg, sebacic acid), the second amine being contained in an amount sufficient to improve the melt strength of the composition. |
