Abstract
A composite structure comprising a resinous component that is adhered to a surface of a metal component is provided. The resinous component is formed from a polymer composition that comprises a polyarylene sulfide, inorganic fibers, and an impact modifier. The inorganic fibers have an aspect ratio of from about 1.5 to about 10.

A composite structure comprising a resinous component that is adhered to a surface of a metal component, wherein the resinous component is formed from a polymer composition that comprises a polyarylene sulfide, inorganic fibers, an impact modifier that includes an epoxy-functionalized olefin copolymer, and an epoxy resin having a melting temperature of from about 50° C. to about 120° C. and an epoxy equivalent weight of from about 250 to about 1,500 grams per gram equivalent as determined in accordance with ASTM D1652-11e1, wherein the inorganic fibers having an aspect ratio of from about 1.5 to about 10, the aspect ratio being defined as the cross-sectional width of the fibers divided by the cross-sectional thickness of the fibers, wherein the inorganic fibers constitute from about 1 wt. % to about 50 wt. % of the polymer composition, the impact modifier constitutes from about 1 wt. % to about 40 wt. % of the polymer composition, the epoxy resin constitutes from about 0.01 wt. % to 1 wt. % of the polymer composition, and the polyarylene sulfide constitutes from about 35 wt. % to about 95 wt. % of the polymer composition.
