Patent ID: 7166243

Claim:
A composition comprising; greater than or equal to 20 weight percent glass fiber, based on the total weight of the composition; and a compatibilized blend of a poly(arylene ether) and an aliphatic-aromatic polyamide wherein, prior to forming the compatibilized blend, the aliphatic-aromatic polyamide has an amine end group content greater than 45 micromoles per gram of polyamide and the aliphatic-aromatic polyamide comprises units derived from a dicarboxylic acid wherein 60 to 100 mol % of units derived from a dicarboxylic acid are derived from terephthalic acid, and units derived from a diamine wherein 60 to 100 mol % of the units derived from a diamine are derived from 1,9-nonanediamine 2-methyl-1,8-octanediamine or a combination of 1,9-nonanediamine and 2-methyl-1,8-octanediamine and further wherein the composition has a heat distortion temperature (HDT) greater than or equal to 240° C. when measured according to ASTM D 648 at 1.8 megapascals (MPa).
