Abstract:
1. A composition comprising: about 30 to about 93 weight percent of a non-polar polymer selected from the group consisting of unhydrogenated block copolymers of alkenyl aromatic compounds and conjugated dienes, hydrogenated block copolymers of alkenyl aromatic compounds and conjugated dienes, poly(alkenyl aromatic)s, poly(phenylene ether)s, and combinations thereof; about 5 to about 50 weight percent of polar filler selected from the group consisting of glass fibers, glass flakes, glass beads, clays, talcs, micas, silicas, aluminas, titanium dioxides, wollastonites, calcium carbonates, calcium sulfates, barium sulfates, dolomites, processed mineral fibers, metal oxides, metal hydroxides, ceramic fibers, and combinations thereof; and about 2 to about 20 weight percent of a poly(phenylene ether)-poly(hydroxy ether) block copolymer comprising at least one poly(hydroxy ether) block, and at least one poly(phenylene ether) block; wherein the mole ratio of poly(hydroxy ether) blocks to poly(phenylene ether) blocks is 0.95:1 to 1.00:1; wherein all weight percents are based on the total weight of the composition, unless a different weight basis is specified.
