possible to obtain a good dispersion of an elastomeric
phase in a PPS matrix, with good interfacial cohesion.
The compositions exhibit a greatly increased flexibil-
ity in comparison to pure PPS.
In electrical and electronic applications, such as cir-
cuit breakers, multipole rods, and breaker bulbs, a
material which combines heat resistance with good
electrical properties must be available. Namely, track-
ing current resistance and arc resistance are necessary.
