    Abstract: A thermoplastic composition includes: (a) from about 82 wt % to about 92 wt % of a thermoplastic resin including poly(phenylene ether) and polystyrene; and (b) from about 3 wt % to about 13 wt % of a carbon-based filler. The carbon-based filler has a specific surface area of at least 650 square meters per gram (m2/g) and an Oil Absorption Number of at least 250 milliliter per 100 gram (ml/100 g). The composition has a dielectric constant ε′ of between 3.5 and 10 and a dissipation loss ε″ of between 0.25 and 5, as measured at a frequency of between about 75 gigahertz (GHz) and about 110 GHz. A ⅛-inch-thick molded sample of the composition exhibits a Percent Absorbed Power measured in Transmission mode of at least 50% when observed according to a Free Space method at frequencies from about 75 GHz to about 110 GHz.

    Abstract: Thermoplastic compositions include: a thermoplastic polymer component including a polyester; and from greater than 0.10 wt % to about 1.95 wt % of a carbon nanotube (CNT) fdler. A 6 in×8 in×⅛ in molded sample of the composition has a percent Absorbed Power measured in Transmission mode of at least 60% when observed at a 77 GHz frequency according to a Free Space method. In some aspects the polyester includes polybutylene terephthalate (PBT). Further aspects include articles (e.g., a radar sensor, a camera, an electronic control unit, etc.) including a molded part including a microwave absorbing material (absorber). The article may have at least two openings to allow the transmission of microwave radiation between a transmitting antenna and a receiving antenna located in/on the printed circuit board of the sensor.
