Compositions of Polyamide and Ionomer

A shaped article comprising a polyamide/ionomer blend composition comprising

• (1) a polyamide having a melt viscosity from about 200 Pa·sec to about 4000 Pa·sec, measured at 250° C. and a shear rate of 12 sec−1, in an amount in the range of about 35 to about 70 weight % of the combination of (1) and (2);
• and
• (2) an ionomer composition in an amount in the range of about 30 to about 65 weight % of the combination of (1) and (2), wherein the ionomer composition comprises at least one neutralized acid copolymer, wherein the acid copolymer comprises copolymerized units of ethylene with
• (a) copolymerized units of an alpha-beta unsaturated monocarboxylic acid wherein the monocarboxylic acid is methacrylic acid or acrylic acid or a combination thereof;
• (b) optionally copolymerized units of an alpha-beta unsaturated dicarboxylic acid derivative selected from maleic anhydride and alkyl monoesters of maleic acid or fumaric acid, in the amount of 0 to about 7 weight % of the copolymer;
• wherein the combination of (a) and (b) when present is from about 7 to about 21 weight % of the copolymer;
• (c) optionally copolymerized units of an alkyl acrylate or alkyl methacrylate comonomer, in the amount of 0 to about 25 weight % of the copolymer;
• and
• wherein about 50 mol % to about 95 mole % of the total carboxylic acid groups in the copolymer are neutralized to salts comprising cations of zinc (Zn) and a second metal (M2) selected from Group 1 of the Periodic Table of the Elements, wherein Zn cations comprise about 10 to about 90% mole equivalents and M2 cations comprise about 90 to 10% mole equivalents.
