Zusammenfassung:Disclosed is a method including (A) melt blending first components including (a-1) a poly(trimethylene terephthalate) homopolymer or copolymer resin; and (a-2) one or more ionomer polymers or a combination of one or more ionomer polymers and acid polymers; to provide a first melt blend; and (B) melt blending said first melt blend with one or more Group B polymeric toughener(s) selected from the group consisting of an ethylene copolymers of the formula E/X/Y wherein: E is the radical formed from ethylene; X is selected from the group consisting of radicals formed from CH2 CH(R1)-C(O)-OR2 Y is one or more radicals formed from selected monomers with the proviso that Y must include at least one radical formed from monomers selected from the group consisting of maleic anhydride, (meth)acrylic acid, maleic acid, maleic acid monoesters, itaconic acid, fumaric acid, fumaric acid monoesters, salts of said preceding acids, and glycidyl acrylate, glycidyl methacrylate, and glycidyl vinyl ether.
