    Abstract: A thermoplastic composition includes a polymeric base resin, a glass fiber component, and a laser direct structuring additive. The laser direct structuring additive includes copper chromite black, copper hydroxide phosphate, tin-antimony cassiterite grey or a combination thereof. In some aspects the polymeric base resin includes polybutylene terephthalate (PBT), polyamide (PA), polycarbonate (PC), poly(p-phenylene oxide) (PPO), or combinations thereof. In certain aspects the thermoplastic composition has a nano molding technology (NMT) bonding strength of at least about 20 MPa when bonded to aluminum alloy. In further aspects the thermoplastic composition includes a plating index of at least a about 0.25. The disclosed thermoplastic compositions can be used to form articles such as NMT bonded covers of consumer electronics devices.

    Abstract: A composition includes about 20 wt % to about 80 wt % of a first resin consisting of polybutylene terephthalate (PBT); about 1 wt % to about 20 wt % of a second resin that is different from the first resin, wherein the second resin does not include polyethylene terephthalate (PET); from about 0.5 wt % to about 10 wt % of a first processing aid; and from about 10 wt % to about 60 wt % of a reinforcing filler. The composition has a tensile modulus of at least 3,000 MPa and a notched Izod impact strength of at least 50 J/m. Methods of making the composition are also described.
