Polymer compositions with improved anti-dent and particulate release performance

A method of forming a composition, the method comprising:

• (a) combining, to form a mixture
• i. from about 50 wt % to about 85 wt % of a liquid crystal polymer resin,
• ii. from about 0.1 wt % to about 15 wt % of a polyetherimide polymer,
• iii. from about 0.05 wt % to about 8 wt % of a compatibilizer, and
• iv. from about 2 wt % to about 25 wt % of a mineral filler;
• and
• (b) extruding the mixture to form the composition,
• wherein 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, and
• wherein a 50 mm×60 mm sample having a thickness of 0.6 mm molded from the composition exhibits an anti-dent performance characterized by a dent depth from 30-40 micrometers as measured using a three dimensional surface profiler, wherein the sample is tested using a drop tester with a 1.6 mm diameter steel ball having a weight of 50 grams dropped from a height of 50 mm.
