Polymer blend with specific composition for low haze molded products
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11926733B2) discloses a polymer blend comprising a poly(ester-carbonate-carbonate) and a poly(etherimide) in specific weight percentages and molecular compositions. The blend, when molded into a 0.125-inch thick ASTM tensile bar, exhibits a haze value of less than 25%. The patent highlights the importance of the weight ratio between the two polymers, with specific multiplication product thresholds based on the mole percent of ester units and high heat bisphenol groups in the poly(ester-carbonate-carbonate).
The patent further elaborates on the advantages of the polymer blend compared to individual polymers, including improved heat deflection temperature, glass transition temperature, strength, modulus, melt flow, and impact strength. The blend is designed to exhibit specific properties such as a single glass transition temperature, melt volume rate, heat deflection temperature, and flexural modulus within defined ranges. Additionally, molded samples of the polymer blend demonstrate characteristics like coefficient of thermal expansion, haze, transmission, and retention of weight average molecular weight after heating, meeting specific criteria outlined in the patent claims. The patent also mentions the inclusion of additives like fillers, flame retardants, and stabilizers, as well as specific chemical formulas for the ester units and bisphenol groups in the polymers, enhancing the overall properties of the blend.
