Fiber-reinforced polyphenylene ether molding compositions and process for their preparation
First Claim
1. A fiber-reinforced thermoplastic molding composition comprising as ingredients:
- a) 97 to 50% by weight, relative to the sum of (a) and (b), moldable thermoplastic ingredients, the moldable thermoplastic ingredients in the molding composition consisting of a mixture of 30 to 100 parts by weight of a polyphenylene ether, 0 to 70 parts by weight of a styrene polymer which is polystyrene, impact-modified polystyrene or styrene-butadiene copolymer, 0 to 10 parts by weight of a polyoctenylene and 0.1 to 2.5 parts by weight of a compound of formula (I) or (II)

Abstract
A fiber-reinforced molding composition, comprising:
a) 97 to 50% by weight, relative to the sum of (a) and (b), of a mixture of 30 to 100 parts by weight of a polyphenylene ether, 0 to 70 parts by weight of a styrene polymer, 0 to 10 parts by weight of a polyoctenylene and 0.1 to 2.5 parts by weight of an α,β-unsaturated carboxylic acid derivative or a precursor thereof;
b) 3 to 50% by weight of carbon fibers and/or glass fibers whose surfaces bear functional groups which are capable of entering into chemical coupling reactions with the α,β-unsaturated carboxylic acid derivatives; and optionally
c) dyes, pigments, plasticizers, flame retardant additives, processing auxiliaries, other customary additives or combinations thereof.
