Blends of two immiscible polymers are created to yield a material with properties that could not be obtained otherwise. Each component of the blend overcomes the property deficiencies of the other component of the blend. In the case of syndiotactic polystyrene (SPS)/polyamide (PA nylon) blends, the blends have improved strength, ductility, and creep versus SPS formulations, and the blends have improved dimensional stability and flow versus nylon compounds. Other attributes of the SPS/nylon blends are low specific gravity (lower weight parts), high thermal diffusivity (low cycle time), excellent electrical properties, good chemical resistance, and excellent United States Council for Automotive Research (USCAR) electric wiring components test performance. In this chapter, the composition, properties, and applications for SPS/ nylon blends will be reviewed. 

In this section, the polyamides (PAs) used in SPS/nylon blends are briefly explained. This is followed by a summary of SPS/nylon blend formulations the compositions of SPS/nylon blends that are claimed in patents are listed and finally SPS/nylon blends detailed in journal articles are described. 

Table 16.1 contains a list of compositions for SPS/nylon blends that have been claimed in patents. No attempt was made to identify patents that might include SPS/nylon blends in the teachings.
