THERMOPLASTIC COMPOSITIONS INCLUDING NATURAL FIBER HAVING GOOD MECHANICAL PROPERTIES AND GOOD DIELECTRIC PROPERTIES

摘要

Thermoplastic compositions include from about 40 wt% to about 90 wt% of a crystalline polymer, from about 5 wt% to about 50 wt% basalt fibers, and from about 1 wt% to about 20 wt% of an impact modifier. In some aspects the crystalline polymer includes polybutylene terephthalate (PBT), polyphenylene sulfide (PPS), copolymers thereof, or a combination thereof. The thermoplastic compositions are suitable for use in nano molding technology (NMT) applications, and in particular for consumer electronics applications.
