Abstract:
A method of making a resin composition comprises melt mixing a first polymer comprising a polyamide powder or a polyester powder with a fluoropolymer at a temperature below a softening temperature of the fluoropolymer to form a first melt blend; fibrillating the fluoropolymer in the first melt blend to form a fibrillar network in the first melt blend; and melt mixing the first melt blend having the fibrillar network with i) a poly(arylene ether) and a compatibilizing agent or ii) a poly(arylene ether) and a reaction product of the poly(arylene) and a compatibilizing agent.
