[0092] The melting point was determined with DSC measurement. The DSC measurements was done according to DIN EN ISO 11357 with a heating rate of 20K / min.
[0093] Viscosity number VN: The viscosity number (VN) was measured in 0.5 weight-% solution in 96 weight-% sulfuric acid at 25 °C according to ISO 307. The test specimens for the study set in Table 1 were injection-molded in an Arburg 420C injection-molding machine at a melt temperature from 270 °C to 290 °C and mold temperature of about 80 °C.
[0094] UL94 test d= 0.8mm and UL94 test d= 1 .6mm: The flame retardancy of the molding compositions is determined firstly by the UL94 V method (Underwriters Laboratories Inc. Standard of Safety, "Test for Flammability of Plastic Materials for Parts in Devices and Appliances”, p. 14 to p. 18 Northbrook 1998). The thickness of the test specimen is either 0.8 mm or 1 .6 mm.
[0095] Glow wire test: The GWFI (Glow-Wire-Flammability-Index) is performed according to the IEC 60695-2-12 standard. The GWFI test determines the highest temperature at which one of the following conditions is met in three consecutive tests: (a) no ignition of the sample, or (b) no ignition of the underlying material and a post-test flame or glowing time of s 30 seconds after the glow wire application. The test is passed if the conditions are met at a temperature of 960 °C (GWFI960). Mass loss of metal cylinder and loss of weight vs reference: The tool wear was carried out using a special injection molding setup. For this purpose, a metal cylinder (20mm in diameter and 20mm in height, steel type 1 .2550) with a central bore (2mm) was weighed and then inserted into the nozzle of the injection molding machine, and 3000 shots (~20kg of plastic granules) of melt were injected through the bore into an injection mold. The mold had the shape of a rectangular bar measuring 3.2mm x 12.7mm x 64mm, with a shot weight of 4.4 to 4.8g. After the experiment, the cylinder was removed, boiled with m-cresol, dried, and reweighed (= mass loss of metal cylinder). The determined mass loss quantitatively describes the tool wear (= loss of weight (EX) vs reference (VX)).
