Launching today are reSound R VX TPEs, reSound R ND polyamides, and reSound R PC polycarbonates. Recycled-content polycarbonates For the Asia market, Avient now offers reSound R PC, a range of polycarbonates with glass filler levels from 10 to 30 percent and recycled content ranging from 25 to 75 percent.

The main focus of this paper is to introduce novel developments in adhering thermoplastic elastomers onto rigid thermoplastics such as polycarbonate, ABS and their alloys, polyacetal and polyamide. In addition, various rigid thermoplastics can have reinforcements and/or additives, such as fillers and fibers or color masterbatches, which not only can alter the resultant properties of the substrate, but also the surface chemistry.
