A novel thermoplastic composition having improved paint adhesion strength comprising, n A) from about 5 to 95 weight % of a6t least one polyphenylene ether. n B) from about 95 to 5 weight % of at least one polyamide, n C) paint adhesion improving amount of at least one paint adhesion improver selected from the class consisting of n (1) homopolymers or copolymers of unsaturated nitrile compounds and n (2) homopolymers or copolymers of alkyl (meth)acrylate, excluding an ethylene alkylacrylate copolymer having about 50 weight % or higher of ethylene, n D) from about 0.01 to 30 parts by weight of at least one compatibilizer, based on 100 by weight of the total of the polyphenylene either and polyamide. |
