Abstract:
This invention relates generally to a thermoplastic compositions and, more particularly, to compositions comprising a polymer matrix and comprising a filler composition. To that end, according to the aspects of the invention, a thermoplastic composition is disclosed that generally comprises a polymer matrix and at least one filler composition. The polymer matrix generally comprises at least one polycarbonate or polyamide. The filler composition generally comprises at least one laser direct structuring additive with a mean particle size of less than 1 μm and may additionally optionally comprise flame retardants, stabilizers and process aids.
Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to blended thermoplastic compositions comprising: a) from about 20 wt % to about 80 wt % of a polycarbonate polymer component; b) from about 5 wt % to about 30 wt % of a polycarbonate-polysiloxane copolymer component; c) from about 1 wt % to about 20 wt % of a laser direct structuring additive component; and d) from about 0.02 wt % to about 5 wt % of a metal component; wherein the combined weight percent value of all components does not exceed about 100 wt %; and wherein all weight percent values are based on the total weight of the composition.
