The resin composition of the present disclosure contains a polyamide resin (A) and a modified ethylene-vinyl alcohol resin (B) grafted with an aliphatic polyester, wherein the content of the modified ethylene-vinyl alcohol resin is 1 part by weight or more and less than 50 parts by weight, when the total content of the polyamide resin (A) and the modified ethylene-vinyl alcohol resin (B) is taken as 100 parts by weight. This resin composition has excellent moldability and has excellent mechanical strength, in particular excellent tensile fracture strain properties, without impairing the transparency and solvent resistance of a molded object obtained from the resin composition.

The invention relates to an acrylic alloy composition that can be 3-D printed by a material extrusion additive manufacturing process, to an acrylic filament that has a very uniform diameter useful in the extrusion additive manufacturing process, to acrylic articles made from the acrylic alloy composition by a material extrusion additive process, and to a material extrusion additive manufacturing process for producing the acrylic articles. The acrylic alloy composition is an alloy of an acrylic polymer, and a low melt viscosity polymer, such as polylactic acid. The alloy may optionally be impact modified, preferably with hard core core-shell impact modifiers.

The invention provides bioresorbable nerve guidance conduits made from polymer blends which include polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs). In particular, the invention provides nerve guidance conduits having a body which comprises a polymer blend comprising: (a) from 60 to 98 wt. % of a first component which is a PHA copolymer comprising two or more different medium chain length hydroxyalkanoate monomer units; and (b) from 2 to 40 wt. % of a second component which is either a PHA homopolymer containing a short chain length hydroxyalkanoate monomer unit, or a polylactide (PLA). The invention further relates to polymer blends comprising (a) and (b).
