Future Directions in Rubber Toughened Polyamides

The following are some of the key technology areas that are likely to influence the future 

However, efficient grafting and dispersion was found to reduce the short-term thermally induced morphological changes. Use of efficient heat stabilizers and antioxidants are, of course, necessary to suppress the long term, thermo-oxidative effects of embrittlement in rubber toughened polyamides.
