    Abstract: A laser platable thermoplastic composition includes from about 38 wt % to about 90 wt % of a thermoplastic polymer, from about 0.01 wt % to about 15 wt % of a laser activatable metal compound, and from about 0.01 wt % to about 60 wt % of a magnetic filler. The magnetic filler includes a magnetic alloy. Methods for making laser platable thermoplastic compositions and articles formed therefrom—such as an induction heater for a domestic or commercial appliance—are also described.

    Abstract: A thermoplastic composition includes: (a) about 30 wt % to about 60 wt % of a resin component including polyphenylene ether (PPE) and polystyrene (PS); (b) from about 35 wt % to about 65 wt % of a filler component; (c) from about 1 wt % to about 5 wt % of a flow promoter including at least a partially hydrogenated hydrocarbon resin; and (d) an elastomer component including from 2.5 wt % to 5 wt % rubber content in the composition excluding the filler component. The combined weight percent value of all components does not exceed 100 wt %, and all weight percent values are based on the total weight of the composition except as indicated in (d).

    Abstract: A process of manufacturing a multilayer sheet having electrically conductive patterns comprises feeding a first polymer layer and a second polymer composition to a calendering stack, the first polymer layer having an inner electrically conductive pattern disposed thereon, the first polymer layer comprising a first polymer composition, which contains a first polymer having a first glass transition temperature, and the second polymer composition comprising a second polymer and a laser direct structure additive (LDS), the second polymer having a second glass transition temperature that is 50 to 100° C. lower than the first glass transition temperature; pressing the first polymer layer and the second polymer composition together to laminate a second polymer layer which comprises the second polymer composition to the first polymer layer, the second polymer layer having an inner surface facing the inner electrically conductive pattern of the first polymer layer and an opposing outer surface; forming an activated surface pattern on the outer surface of the second polymer layer; and applying a conductive metal on the activated surface pattern, wherein the first polymer layer is in direct physical contact with the second polymer layer.
