Series 61 / 374,817, filed on August 18, 2010; 61 / 485,826, deposited on May 13, 2011; and 61 / 493,058, filed on June 3, 2011. The totality of the disclosures of each of these requests is incorporated in this document by reference. [002] A polyamide is a polymer containing repeating units of amides. These polymers can occur both naturally, with examples being proteins, such as wool and silk, as they can be artificially prepared through polymerization in stages of development, with examples being nylon, aramid, and poly (aspartate) ) sodium. Currently, polyamides are commonly used in fabrics, automobiles, carpet and sportswear due to their extreme durability and resistance. [003] A subgroup of polyamides, nylon, is one of the most commonly created subgroups of synthetic polymers. Nylons are typically condensation copolymers formed by reacting dicarboxylic acids with diamines or by opening a lactam ring. Several nylon polymers can be created by adjusting the number of carbons. Conventional nomenclature designations on these various nylon and polyamides specify diamine first and diacid second. Therefore, the most commercially common variant of nylon, nylon 66, has six carbons donated by the diamine, and six carbons from the diacid, and nylon 612 would have six carbons donated by the diamine and twelve carbons donated from the diacid. Unlike nylon 6-6, nylon-6 is a homopolymer formed through a poly Petition 870190112428, of 11/04/2019, p. 12/54 2/35 merization by ring opening. An example of this is nylon-6 produced by polymerization of caprolactam. Because each variant has a different chemical structure, the physical properties of nylon differ with respect to impact resistance, stress resistance, elasticity, tear resistance, melting temperature, color stability, and other properties. [004] Olefin maleic anhydride polymers (OMAP) are formed by copolymerizing maleic anhydride with olefin monomers. Examples of such olefins include ethylene, propylene, isobutylene, butene-1, octene, butadiene, styrene, isoprene, hexene, long chain alkenes (eg, dodecene, dodecene- 1, tetradecene), and the like. Some of these olefins are derived from natural gas and / or crude oil, while others are derived from natural substances or by biosynthesis. Examples of such copolymers include, but are not limited to, copolymers of ethylene-maleic anhydride, propylene-maleic anhydride, isobutylene-maleic anhydride, and terpolymers, such as ethylene-propylene-maleic anhydride terpolymer. [005] It will be appreciated that products that are prepared from polyamides are exposed to considerable stresses during manufacture and processing, and that a method for producing nylon or other polyamides with increased durability would be appreciated in the art, and that formulations of Specific nylon having increased durability would be highly appreciated in the art. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS [006] FIG. 1 shows the reduction in high shear viscosity resulting from the combination of a nylon (eg, nylon-6) with the EMA. DESCRIPTION [007] The disclosure of the present application provides compositions comprising polyamides with such olefin-maleic anhydride polymers (OMAP). [008] The disclosure of this application also provides several methods Petition 870190112428, of 11/04/2019, p. 13/54 3/35 to produce polyamide compounds with ethylene maleic anhydride (EMA) copolymers. Specifically, at least one embodiment of the present disclosure relates to methods for the reaction of nylon-like materials with maleic anhydride ethylene copolymers. At least one embodiment of the present disclosure involves processing methods, such as combining by extrusion using equipment known to one skilled in the art. In the plastics industry, blending is a process that mixes one or more polymers with one or more additives to produce plastic compounds in one or more steps. The feeds can be granules, powder and / or liquids, however the product is usually in the form of granules, to be used in other plastics forming processes, such as extrusion and injection molding. The size of the machine ranges from very small laboratory machines to the largest extruders in the industry, running as much as 20 tonnes per hour. Twin screw extruders are usually preferred because they give better mixing at lower melting temperatures. Most of these have threads and cylinders made up of smaller segments (mixing, transport, ventilation and feeding of additives), so that the design and the sequence of addition of each of the ingredients in the formulation can be changed to meet production needs and product. Other equipment, such as single screw extruders, oscillating screw extrusion, continuous mixers, Banbury mixers, and planetary extruders, can also be used for the combination. Additional components to be mixed and / or combined (viscosity modifiers, additive vehicles, and the like) and processing parameters, such as temperature of each zone, feed rates, residence time and thread speed, can modified by the person skilled in the art for each application. The method of producing the polyamide compounds according to at least one embodiment of the present application results in a polymer combined with perfection Petition 870190112428, of 11/04/2019, p. 14/54 4/35 steels in properties and performance, such as increased extend performance, impact resistance, resistance to slow deformation, and resistance to anti-freeze degradation due to hydrolysis, of the compound formed by reaction of the polyamide with the olefin-anhydride polymer maleic. [009] According to at least one embodiment of the method of producing the combined polyamides of the present disclosure, the method comprises the step of combining a polyamide with a maleic anhydride ethylene copolymer in a twin screw extruder or other processing method listed in previous paragraph. Such granules are subsequently processed by a plastic processing method, such as injection molding, blown or molten film, sheet extrusion, thermoforming, or blow molding, into a finished article, such as vial, molded part, film, sheet , fabric, filament, fiber, etc. [0010] Another modality includes directly extruding such reaction mixture into a finished article, such as a filament, fiber, film, sheet, and molded part. [0011] In the production of the compounds of the present disclosure, a polyamide can be any suitable polyamide, as described in this document. For example, in an illustrative embodiment, the polyamide can be a nylon, such as nylon-6 or nylon 6-6. In addition, the polyamides used in at least one embodiment of the method of producing a polyamide compound can be aliphatic, alicyclic and aromatic polyamides, such as one or more of nylon 6-12, nylon 4-6, nylon 9 nylon 10, nylon 6 -9, nylon 11, nylon 12, nylon 5-10, nylon-meta-xylene diamine (nylon-MXD6), Kevlar® (DuPont), Nomex® (DuPont), Ixef® (Solvay Advanced Polymers), Trogamid® (Evonik Degussa), and Amodel® (Solvay Advanced Polymers). In addition, according to at least one illustrative embodiment of the method of producing a combined polyamide, olefin-maleic anhydride as an alternating copolymer of ethylene maleic anhydride (EMA) can be used in the method of treatment in a molar ratio of ethylene to maleic anhydride about 1: 1. Petition 870190112428, of 11/04/2019, p. 15/54 5/35 In alternative embodiments, olefin-maleic anhydride as an alternating copolymer of ethylene maleic anhydride (EMA) can be used in the treatment method in a molar ratio of ethylene to maleic anhydride from about 1:99 to about 99: 1 . The additional alternative embodiments employ non-alternating copolymers or random copolymers with a range of molar ratio of ethylene to maleic anhydride from about 1:50 to about 50: 1; about 1:20 to about 20: 1; about 1:10 to about 10: 1; about 1: 5 to about 5: 1; and about 1: 2 to about 2: 1. In yet another embodiment, non-alternating copolymers or random copolymers can be used. [0012] Additionally, according to at least one illustrative modality, the olefin maleic anhydride selected for the reaction with a polyamide has an average molecular weight in the range of about 300 to about 10 million; about 10,000 to about 1 million; about 20,000 to about 800,000; about 40,000 to about 600,000; about 50,000 to about 500,000; or about 60,000 to about 400,000. For example, according to at least one illustrative embodiment, the selected EMA can have a molecular weight of around 60,000, such as that sold under the trademark ZeMac® E-60 (E60), or the selected EMA can have a weight molecular weight of about 400,000, such as that sold under the trademark ZeMac® E-400 (Vertellus Specialties Inc.) (E400). In addition, EMA can be used in an illustrative embodiment of the method of producing a combined polyamide in a concentration of between about 0.01% to about 20.0% w / w; about 0.02% to about 0.5%; about 0.05% to about 7.0% w / w; about 0.1% to about 5.0% w / w; or about 0.5% to about 3.0% w / w. [0013] According to at least one optional embodiment, a stabilizer package is added to the formulation, the stabilizer package comprising additives used individually or in combination with each other. According to such modality, the additives can comprise phenolic antioxidants, phosphites, iodide Petition 870190112428, of 11/04/2019, p. 16/54 6/35 cuprous (CuI), potassium iodide (KI), and / or other stabilizers. Optionally, the stabilizer package can comprise about 0.01% to about 5.0% w / w of the overall reaction mixture; about 0.1% to about 2.0% w / w; or about 0.5% to 1.0% w / w.

[0015] In addition, according to the additional illustrative modalities, halogenated or non-halogenated flame retardant additives are included in the reaction mixture; reinforcers, such as a mineral or fibers, fabrics, strand filaments, tubes and threads, made of glass, carbon, graphite, cellulose and other natural materials; and / or high fusion aromatic polymers (sometimes referred to as aramides). Plasticizers, lubricants, rheology modifiers, friction modifiers, and other additives known to someone skilled in the art can also optionally be added to the mixture, depending on application requirements. Petition 870190112428, of 11/04/2019, p. 22/54 12/35 [0016] According to at least one step of forming a polyamide reaction mixture, the component parts can be combined by any type of applicable extruder, such as a single or twin screw extruder, or a applicable extruder used in conjunction with a mixer. [0017] While conducting the step of combining in one embodiment of the method of producing a combined polyamide of the present disclosure, the first temperature can be any temperature sufficient to melt the polyamide and promote the combination of a polyamide with the EMA. In an illustrative embodiment, with nylon-6, the temperature settings on the extruder and the processing temperature can be about 230 ° C to about 300 ° C. In other embodiments, the temperature settings and the combination temperature can be from about 230 ° C to about 260 ° C or from about 220 ° C to 260 ° C. For nylon 6-6, this temperature can vary from 250 ° C to 310 ° C or from 240 ° C to 280 ° C. However, for higher melting polyamides, such as the Nomex® polymer, such processing temperatures are likely to be in the range of 280 ° C to 380 ° C. For elastomeric polyamides, such as nylon-9, nylon-10, nylon-6,10, nylon-11 and nylon-12, the range can be considerably smaller, in the range of 150 ° C to 250 ° Ç. It is recognized that the upper value of the combination temperature may be linked by the temperature at which the degradation of the nylon being combined becomes significant, the lower value may be linked by the melting point or softening of the nylon. [0018] Without being bound by theory, it is believed that nylon (also called polyamides) requires the presence of a free amine group to react with the anhydride groups of the olefin-maleic anhydride copolymer (see formula below). Illustratively, the Ultramid B3S grade, which has free amine groups and is not capped at the end, reacts, while Ultramid B27, which is capped at the end, has no free amine group available for the reaction.

The introduction of fiberglass can occur before or after the combination of the polyamide with the EMA. The glass fiber can have a concentration of about 0.1% to about 60%; about 10% to about 50%. In addition, in an illustrative embodiment of the present disclosure, a glass fiber can have an applicable degree and size with the combination of nylon. [0020] According to other illustrative modalities, other reinforcements can be combined with polyamide, including carbon nanotubes, mica, talc, calcium carbonate, wollastonite, carbon fibers, Kevlar® fibers, nano-particles made of clay and other materials. Other modalities include fabrics, weft filaments, tubes and threads, made of glass, cellulose and other natural materials, carbon, graphite, high-fusion aromatic polymers (sometimes referred to as aramids) and ceramics . A specific example is Kevlar® fibers, with a diameter of 12 microns and fiber length of 1.27 cm (0.5 inch). Another example is a biaxially oriented fiberglass fabric, such as VECTORPLY® E-LTM 3610. [0021] An illustrative embodiment of the method of producing a combined polyamide may also comprise the pulley injection molding step Petition 870190112428, of 11/04/2019, p. 24/54 14/35 mida. Optionally, the polyamide can be combined with the EMA directly during injection molding. [0022] As a result of producing a combined polyamide by one embodiment of the method of the present disclosure, the treated polyamide (ie, the combined polyamide) has been found to exhibit increased impact resistance and / or increased tensile strength compared to non-polyamide combined. The increased impact resistance can be at least about 5%, at least about 10%, at least about 15%, at least about 20%, at least about 25%, at least about 28%, at least at least about 30%, at least about 33%, at least about 35%, at least about 40%, or at least about 50%, greater than unmatched polyamide. [0023] According to at least one embodiment of a combined polyamide of the present disclosure, a combined polyamide, formed by the process of combining the polyamide with an EMA, is disclosed. More optionally, the polyamide can be a nylon-6 or a nylon-6,6 and the EMA has a weight molecular weight of about 60,000 to about 400,000. The polyamide can also be nylon-9, nylon-12, nylon-11, nylon 4-6, or any of the polyamides listed in this document. In another illustrative embodiment, the polyamide combined with the EMA in any of the embodiments described in this document can be recycled nylon. [0024] Recycled nylon / polyamide can include many different types of materials of varying quality from different industries. The recycled polyamide can be from post-industrial sources or post-consumer sources or a combination of both. An example of a high quality recycled nylon is non-colored nylon that has sufficient molecular weight for injection molding. Another illustrative recycled nylon is polyamide / nylon Unspec or not superior that does not meet the specifications for its intended use or is a transition material Petition 870190112428, of 11/04/2019, p. 25/54 15/35 tion that is produced during switching between the production of one grade of nylon and another grade in nylon. This type of product made from recycled nylon material is valued from about 2-5% below the price of the upper nylon to around 25% below the price of the upper nylon, depending on market conditions. Much of the lower quality recycled nylon that is currently available goes to landfills. Illustrative sources of substandard recycled nylon are the fabric or lingerie industry. Another source is recycled fishing nets. Much of this lower quality material is low viscosity nylon, which cannot normally be used for injection molding applications without modification, as described in this document. The automotive industry's recycled nylon is typically black and cannot be used for non-black applications. Recycled nylon can also contain one or more polymers other than polyamide. In an illustrative example, the carpet waste typically contains 80-85% polyamide, the remaining material being polyester, polypropylene and some polyurethane. Due to poor mechanical performance, such carpet waste is not typically reused and ends up in landfills. Depending on the performance and quality of the material, polyamide prices vary. By combining these types of recycled polyamides with EMA copolymers, as described in this document, these materials can be used for more value added applications. [0025] According to at least one additional embodiment of the combined polyamide of the present disclosure, a reacted or combined polyamide can be incorporated into any product where increased performance over the unmatched polyamide is desired. In an illustrative embodiment, the combined polyamide can be incorporated into any of carpet fiber, clothing, airbags, tires, ropes, conveyor belts, hoses, luggage, molded products (auto parts, gun holders, electrical parts, and tool handles) ), personal care products (such as toothbrushes), medical devices and Petition 870190112428, of 11/04/2019, p. 26/54 16/35 surgical, food packaging films, oil resistant gaskets, defense and aerospace products, and bulletproof materials. [0026] According to at least one embodiment, the crosslinked compositions of this disclosure, prepared using relatively higher levels of an olefin-maleic anhydride polymer (OMAP) in a polyamide matrix, are used for fused nylon or thermally laminated applications. To achieve these goals, the OMAP ratio is in the range of about 10% to about 50% w / w, or about 10% to about 20%. Applications for a cross-linked composition of this variety are optionally processed by methods typically used for thermoset polymers, some of which use reinforcement with fabrics made of glass fibers. Such polymers can be useful for applications ranging from metal replacement (eg, mechanical parts, medical devices, and the like) to transport use. Other uses include applications in defense and aerospace. In other embodiments of these crosslinked compositions, the olefin polymer-maleic anhydride is an alternating polymer of ethylene-maleic anhydride 1: 1. [0027] As used in this document, the term combination in general refers to a process that mixes one or more polymers with one or more additives, to produce plastic compounds, in one or more steps. The materials to be mixed can be in the form of granules, powders and / or liquids. Typically, the product is in the form of granules for use in other plastic forming processes, such as extrusion and injection molding. METHODS AND EXAMPLES MATERIALS [0028] Polyamide 6 (Ultramid® B3S grade) and Polyamide 6.6 (Ultramid® A34 grade), both superior quality from BASF, were used as received, as was recycled polyamide 6. Care has been taken to ensure that all grades remain dry. An alternating ethylene-maleic anhydride copolymer Petition 870190112428, of 11/04/2019, p. 27/54 17/35 to 1: 1 grade ZeMac® E60 (E60) from Vertellus Specialties Inc., with a weight average molecular weight (MW) of 60,000, was used in these illustrative examples. An alternating ethylene-maleic anhydride copolymer at 1: 1 grade ZeMac® E400 (E400) from Vertellus Specialties Inc., with a weight average molecular weight (MW) of 400,000, was also used in the illustrative examples. A stabilizer package, consisting of 0.09% potassium iodide (KI), 0.01% cuprous iodide (CuI), 0.4% Irgafos® 168 (phosphite stabilizer), and 0.5% Irganox ® 1098 (hindered phenol antioxidant), was used with all samples combined. GENERAL PREPARATION OF THE COMBINED POLYAMIDE [0029] The composite granules of polyamide combined with E60 or E400 were prepared in a double screw extruder with counter-rotating combination (Bertstroff 25 mm. 32D). The polyamide-6 and recycled polyamide-6 samples were run using the temperature settings of 235, 245, 255, 245, 240, 240, 240, 240 ° C, while the polyamide-6,6 samples were combined using the temperature settings of 250, 265, 275, 270, 270, 270, 270, 280 ° C. For GF reinforced runs, the fiberglass, at a load level of 30%, was fed downstream with a side feeder. GENERAL TEST METHODS [0030] Measurements of tensile strength, bending, toothed Izod impact and fluidity index were performed using standard ASTM methods D-638, D790, D-256 and D-1238, respectively, at 23 ° Ç. Charpy impact resistance was measured using the ISO-179-2 / 2 method at room temperature (23 ° C) and at -30 ° C. The deflection / distortion temperature was measured using the ASTM D-648 method. These mechanical and thermal tests were performed without additional drying, the samples were used as molded after conditioning the test sample according to the ASTM protocol. Water absorption tests were carried out after drying to equilibrium, to ensure that all absorbed water is removed and Petition 870190112428, of 11/04/2019, p. 28/54 18/35 all samples are dry. The percentage of increases in the amount of water absorbed was determined after 24, 48 and 72 hours. SUPERIOR POLYAMIDE-6 [0031] Polyamide-6 was combined with 1% ethylene maleic anhydride copolymer, with and without 30% glass fiber. The tensile strength, elongation and resistance to toothed Izod impact of the resulting combined materials are shown in TABLE 1 below. TABLE 1 Formulation Nylon-6 + without additive Nylon-6 +1% E60 Nylon-6 + 30% Fiberglass + without additive Nylon-6 + 30% Fiberglass dro + 1%E60 in Stress Tensile Strength (MPa) 50 70.5 69 79 Stretching byRupture Traction(%) 5.9 8.0 4.9 9.2 Stretching byYield Traction (%) 5.2 7.9 4.9 8.8 Voltage Module(MPa) 1150 1200 2250 2400 Toothed Izod [J / m.(ft-lb./pol.)] 0.6942(1.30) 0.8277(1.55) 0.801 (1.50) 1.068 (2.00) Toothed Izod (J / m.) 69 83 80 107 [0032] The results of tensile strength, elongation and resistance to toothed Izod impact shown in TABLE 1 demonstrate that the copolymer alter Petition 870190112428, of 11/04/2019, p. 29/54 19/35 nado increases all three properties, with and without 30% fiberglass. Typically, when the tensile strength is increased in most plastics with some type of modification, the elongation decreases and vice versa. It was found that the combination of polyamide and EMA results in increases in both tensile strength and elongation, simultaneously. These observations are believed to show that the basic structure of at least some of the polyamide is being modified to a highly branched structure, with very high molecular weight, which results in a stronger and harder combined polyamide. [0033] During the combination, an increase in both viscosity and torque is observed. When a grade of polyamide was used without any end groups, no increase in viscosity or mechanical properties was observed. This is believed to indicate that no amidation reaction can occur in the absence of amine end groups on the polyamide. It has also been observed that crosslinking can occur at high EMA loads (> 10%) and the combined material does not flow. The use of other materials that have a reactive group, ie, an anhydride (for example, polyethylene grafted with maleic anhydride) or a modifier with a reactive group at each end, shows only a slight increase in viscosity and little increase in mechanical properties , compared to the use of the EMA copolymer (unique structures with thousands of reactive groups on each molecular chain) disclosed in this document. This increase in viscosity also results in a reduction in the flow rate of polyamide-6, as shown in TABLE 2. TABLE 2 Additive Flow Rate at 235 ° C and 1 kg(g / 10 min) not combined 9.7 0.1% E60 4.3 Petition 870190112428, of 11/04/2019, p. 30/54 20/35 0.3% of E60 1.7 0.5% E60 1.0 SUPERIOR POLYAMIDE-6.6 [0034] It was observed during the combination that the polyamide 6.6 generated higher viscosity and torque increase at the same load levels as the EMA. This can be partially attributed to the higher temperature at which polyamide-6,6 is processed, compared to polyamide-6, but also because polyamide-6,6 is known to typically have amine end groups in both ends. Similar to the results for polyamide-6, the mechanical properties of polyamide-6,6 are also improved, while the flow rate decreases. In addition, we observed an increase in thermal deflection temperature, as shown in TABLE 3 below. TABLE 3 Additive Flow Rate at 275 ° C and 5 kg (g / 10 min) Temp.

Due to the presence of some nylon-6,6 in this recycled polyamide, the flow rate is less than what would typically be expected from a stream recycled with only polyamide-6. During the combination, it generated less torque than the corresponding upper nylon-6. Without being linked by theory, it is believed that the lower torque is due to the degradation caused by Petition 870190112428, of 11/04/2019, p. 31/54 21/35 history of additional heat from recycled nylon-6 compared to superior nylon-6. TABLE 4 shows the decrease in the flow rate in recycled polyamide combined with E60. It is believed that this decrease in the flow rate is due to the expansion of the chain and the resulting branching. The resulting shear dilution enabled excellent injection molding, contrary to what might be expected from the fractional flow rates obtained when the ASTM test samples were molded. TABLE 4 Additive Flow Rate (ASTM D-1238)235 ° C w / 1 kg (g / 10 min) without E60 13 without additive 6.2 0.1% E60 1.17 0.3% of E60 0.80 0.5% E60 0.44 1% E60 0.5 3% E60 1.6 Superior nylon-6 9.65 [0036] The tensile strength of injection molded samples was measured as described in the ASTM D638 protocol. The results are shown in TABLE 5. The various commercial grades of the upper polyamide-6 grades differ slightly in terms of tensile strength values, as indicated in the specification data sheets provided by the supplier. [0037] As shown in TABLE 5, after the reactive combination of the recycled polyamide with the alternating ethylene-maleic anhydride copolymer to produce the combined recycled polyamide, the tensile strength values are equal to, or close to, value range of the upper polyamide grades (75 to Petition 870190112428, of 11/04/2019, p. 32/54 22/35 MPa). The other properties of the combined recycled polyamide are also improved. TABLE 6 shows the flexural modulus properties of recycled polyamide as a function of adding low charges of the same alternating copolymer of ethylene and maleic anhydride. [0038] This increase in the flexural modulus of the combined recycled polyamide is equal to, or exceeds, the similar range of flexural modulus of the various grades of superior polyamide-6 available from different suppliers. An increase in flexural strength at break is also observed for the combined recycled polyamide, as shown in TABLE 6. It is seen from the values for both the flexural module and the flexural strength at break that the values increase as a function of the amount of alternating copolymer added from 0.1 to 0.5%. The values do not seem to increase further when the percentage of added E60 is increased further.

The results measured at room temperature (23 ° C) and -30 ° C are shown in TABLE 7. The results show an increase as a function of the alternating copolymer addition level at both room temperature and -30 ° C. What is surprising, however, is that the values measured at low temperature are unexpectedly greater than the values measured at room temperature and are greater than the values measured for the upper nylon-6. [0040] Resistance to Charpy impact, measured at 23 ° C and -30 ° C, is shown in TABLE 8. Increases in resistance to Charpy impact are observed compared to without adding the alternating copolymer. However, the increase is not progressive at the 0.5% load level, at 23 ° C. When compared to the values for the upper polyamide, they are exceeded at 23 ° C for all three loads, however only Petition 870190112428, of 11/04/2019, p. 34/54 24/35 at 0.5%, at -30 ° C.

Water absorption measurements were performed after drying the sample to equilibrium, to ensure that they were dry. The amount of water absorbed Petition 870190112428, of 11/04/2019, p. 35/54 25/35 was determined after 24, 48 and 1'2 hours. As shown in TABLE 9, there is only a small increase in water absorption observed in polyamide samples combined with copolymer E60.

The combined nylon granules were then molded into ASTM test samples and the following properties were tested: Impacted Izod Impact Resistance, Impacted Izod Impact Not Dented, as well as for the properties of traction, effort in the rupture and effort in the yield. The combination of nylon, fiberglass, EMA and the stabilizer package was performed on a twin screw extruder, with all components added to a collector. According to the illustrative embodiment, the processing melting temperature of the nylon mixture was 260 ° C for the nylon-6.6 compounds and 240 ° C for the nylon-6 compounds. The illustrative results of the analysis of the properties of the combined nylon, in comparison with the Petition 870190112428, of 11/04/2019, p. 36/54 26/35 non-combined nylon, are shown in TABLE 10. The grade of the fiberglass used in the mixture was a high performance E-glass cut wire, with a diameter of 10 μ and a length of 4.5 mm, typically used in combination by extrusion with polyamide resin systems.

According to at least one illustrative embodiment, the recycled nylon was processed with the EMA as discussed in more detail below, and the reaction product was evaluated for resistance to anti-freeze degradation due to hydrolysis and impact resistance, compared to untreated recycled nylon. The results indicate that the processing of nylon and other polyamides with EMA can improve both the resistance to anti-freeze degradation due to the hydrolysis properties and the resistance to the impact of the composition on non-combined polyamides. [0049] The combined nylon-6 exhibited an increase in the resistance to toothed Izod impact of 1.602 J / cm (3 ft-lb / in) for the non-combined nylon-6 to between 2.02 J / cm and 2.52 J / cm (3.78 ft-lb / in and 4.72 ft-lb / in). In addition to the increase in resistance Petition 870190112428, of 11/04/2019, p. 42/54 32/35 due to antifreeze degradation due to hydrolysis and impact resistance, it is expected that the combined nylon will show an increase in tear resistance, a reduction in slow deformation, and a decrease in the coefficient of linear thermal expansion. EXAMPLE [0050] The properties of the various mixtures of nylon-6 (PA6) (as shown in TABLE 20) were tested with and without the copolymer of ethylene maleic anhydride (EMA), to determine the effect that the treatment of nylon-6 with the EMA has on the physical characteristics of nylon-6. When carrying out the treatment of nylon-6, the mixture of nylon-6 / EMA was combined in a corrective double screw extruder (Leistritz, ZSE, 27 HP, D = 40 mm), and then injection molded with a molding machine by injection (Cincinnati Milacron-Fanuc, Roboshot, 55USTON, 0.06 L (1.95 oz)) in standard traction and impact bars. The combination conditions in which nylon-6 was mixed are shown in TABLE 21. In addition, the injection molding conditions are shown in TABLE 22. In addition, before mixing, all nylon-6 was pre-dried at 85 ° Ç. during the night. The properties of the various mixtures of nylon-6 with the EMA are shown in TABLES 12-15.

In determining these properties, the Stress Module (as shown in TABLE 1) indicates the force to bend. It will be appreciated that as the results increase, the stiffness of the sample increases, while as the results decrease, the flexibility increases. As shown in TABLE 1, the stress at break was calculated as a percentage, where the high numbers indicate the ability to stretch before the samples break. The yield effort, shown in TABLE 1, was calculated for each sample, indicating the strength at the peak before the reduction. In other words, as the material stretches, it requires more force to stretch, until it reaches a bottleneck, where the sample decreases enough to require less force to stretch. In general, it will be appreciated that rigid materials do not narrow. Furthermore, as shown in TABLE Petition 870190112428, of 11/04/2019, p. 44/54 34/35 which indicates the effort in yield, showing the percentage of change in length, where a larger value indicates that the sample must stretch longer before it finally breaks. Finally, the samples were tested for impact resistance, which is the force required to break the sample. This is a high speed impact test, in which the higher the number, the greater the impact resistance. Each of these tests was run 4-5 times and the average reported. EXAMPLE [0052] 40 g of nylon-6 granules and 4 g of ZeMac® E-60 (E60) were mixed to melt in a Brabender lab-sized mixing vessel, preheated to 245 ° C, and mixed until all the granules were melted and the mixture well melted. At a ratio of a and above 10%, the ethylene maleic anhydride copolymer did not flow, and appeared to crosslink the polyamide. EXAMPLE [0053] Molded draw bars are immersed in radiator fluid (commercially available Prix® Ready-to-Use Pre-mixed Antifreeze) at 125 ° C for up to 3000 hours (500 hour intervals). A group of 5 samples for each formulation is removed from the test fluid at 500 hour intervals, washed with water, dried by rubbing and tested for tensile properties. Resistance to hydrolysis is demonstrated by comparing the tensile properties of treated bars with untreated bars.
