Disclosed are polymer compositions having high transparency and low haze comprising immiscible blends of at least one polyester comprising 2,2,4,4-tetramethyl-1,3-cyclobutanediol, and a copolyamide or a transamidized, homogeneous blend of a least two polyamides. The components of the immiscible blend have refractive indices which differ by about 0.006 to about −0.0006. The small difference in the refractive indices enable the incorporation of regrind into the polymer composition to produce transparent shaped articles. The blends of the present invention are useful in producing shaped articles such as, for example, sheeting, films, tubes, bottles, preforms and profiles. These articles may have one or more layers and can exhibit improved excellent barrier properties and good melt processability while retaining excellent mechanical properties. Metal catalysts can be incorporated into the compositions to produce oxygen-scavenging compositions.
本发明涉及高透明度和低浑浊度的聚合物组合物,其包括至少一种聚酯,其中聚酯包括2,2,4,4-四甲基-1,3-环丁二醇,以及共聚酰胺或至少两种聚酰胺的转酰胺化均质混合物的不相混合的混合物。不相混合的混合物的组分的折射率之间的差异约为0.006到约-0.0006。折射率的小差异使得将回收料并入聚合物组合物中以生产透明成型品成为可能。本发明的混合物在生产成型品,例如片材、薄膜、管、瓶、预制件和型材方面非常有用。这些制品可以具有一个或多个层,并且可以表现出优异的阻隔性能和良好的熔融加工性能,同时保持优异的机械性能。金属催化剂可以并入组合物中以生产氧-吸附组合物。
