Claim 0:
1. A polymer composition that comprises a thermotropic liquid crystalline polymer matrix and a plurality of mineral fibers having a median width of from about 1 to about 35 micrometers, wherein the mineral fibers constitute from about 5 wt. % to about 60 wt. % of the polymer composition and the liquid crystalline polymer matrix constitutes from about 25 wt. % to about 95 wt. % of the composition, wherein the composition is formed by melt blending a thermotropic liquid crystalline polymer and the plurality of mineral fibers with a non-aromatic functional compound that includes a hydrate in an amount from about 0.02 wt. % to about 1 wt. % of the polymer composition, and wherein the polymer composition exhibits a tensile strength of from 138.1 MPa to about 500 MPa as determined in accordance with ISO Test No. 527 at 23° C.
