1. A thermoplastic composition comprising:
a) from about 5 wt % to about 30 wt % of a thermoplastic polymer component comprising polycarbonate, polyethylene terephthalate or a combination thereof;
b) from about 10 wt % to about 35 wt % of a polybutylene terephthalate component;
c) from about 0.1 wt % to about 10 wt % of a polyester elastomer component;
d) from 0 wt % to about 10 wt % of an acrylic impact modifier component;
e) from 0 wt % to about 10 wt % of an ethylene/alkyl acrylate/glycidyl methacrylate terpolymer compatibilizer component; and
f) from about 55 wt % to about 75 wt % of a ceramic fiber component,
wherein,
a molded sample of the thermoplastic composition has a tensile modulus of at least about 25 gigapascals (GPa) as determined in accordance with ASTM D638 and a tensile elongation at break of at least about 1.98% as determined in accordance with ASTM D638,
the composition has a melt volume rate (MVR) of from about 12 cm3/10 min to about 25 cm3/10 min as evaluated at 275° C. under a 5 kilogram (kg) load, and
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.
