Abstract
A composition comprising a polyetherester resin reinforced with aromatic polyamide fibers, exhibits good adhesion between the polyetherester resin and the aromatic polyamide fibers and could be used in automotive or other high strength applications.
Claims8
A rigid composite structure, comprising:
- aromatic polyamide fibers in a thermoplastic matrix, said matrix comprising a polyetherester resin, wherein the fibers are present in an amount effective to reinforce the matrix and provide a rigid composite structure having increased tensile strength and increased impact strength relative to an analogous structure formed from the polyetherester resin alone.
