Abstract

Polyphenylene ether-olefin polymer compositions having improved properties are obtained by first blending an acyl group- or electrophilic group-functionalized polyphenylene ether of relatively high molecular weight with a lower molecular weight unfunctionalized polyphenylene ether to form a blend of which the lower molecular weight polymer comprises about 45-60% by weight, subsequently blending with an electrophilic group- or acyl group-functionalized olefin polymer (respectively), preferably a glycidyl methacrylate-grafted EPDM copolymer, and finally blending with a curing agent such as hexamethylenediaminemonocarbamic acid.
