Abstract:
1. A thermoplastic composition that comprises at least one thermotropic liquid crystalline polymer, wherein the total amount of repeating units in the thermotropic liquid crystalline polymer derived from naphthenic hydroxycarboxylic or naphthenic dicarboxylic acids is no more than 15 mol. %, the thermoplastic composition further comprising at least one hydroxy-functional compound and at least one aromatic dicarboxylic acid, wherein the weight ratio of hydroxy-functional compounds to aromatic dicarboxylic acids in the thermoplastic composition is from about 0.1 to about 30, and further wherein the thermoplastic composition has a melt viscosity of from about 0.5 to about 100 Pa-s, as determined in accordance with ISO Test No. 11443 at a shear rate of 1000 seconds −1 and temperature that is 15° C. above the melting temperature of the thermoplastic composition.
