Abstract

Thermoplastic compositions of an aromatic polyimide and an aromatic polyethersulfone. The compositions have high upper critical use temperatures, high moduli, high tensile strengths, and high impact strengths. Some of the compositions are miscible blends, which additionally possess significant advantages due to their ease of processing. The miscible blends can be processed into amorphous single phase compositions or phase-separated compositions, depending on the processing conditions. Preferred compositions are blends of VICTREX polyethersulfone with either of the polyimides XU-218 or PI-2080.
