Articles and sheets containing glass-filled poly(arylene ether)-polyolefin composition

An article comprising a thermoplastic composition, wherein the thermoplastic composition comprises the reaction product of:

• about 15 to about 30 weight percent of a poly(arylene ether) that is the polymerization product of 2,6-dimethylphenol, 2,3,6-trimethylphenol, or a combination thereof;
• about 3 to about 25 weight percent of a homopolystyrene;
• about 20 to about 50 weight percent of a homopolypropylene;
• about 1 to about 10 weight percent of a styrene-(ethylene-butylene)-styrene triblock copolymer having an alkenyl aromatic content of about 55 to about 75 weight percent;
• about 1 to about 10 weight percent of a styrene-butadiene-styrene triblock copolymer;
• about 3 to about 14 weight percent of an ethylene-butylene rubber, an ethylene-propylene rubber, or a mixture thereof;
• and
• about 5 to less than 20 weight percent of glass fibers having a diameter of about 10 to about 20 micrometers;
• wherein all weight percents are based on the total weight of the thermoplastic composition.

A sheet comprising a thermoplastic composition, wherein the thermoplastic composition comprises the reaction product of:

• about 10 to about 46 weight percent of a poly(arylene ether);
• about 2 to about 30 weight percent of a homopolymer of an alkenyl aromatic monomer, wherein the weight ratio of the homopolymer of an alkenyl aromatic monomer to the poly(arylene ether) is at least about 1:10;
• about 15 to about 50 weight percent of a polyolefin;
• about 1 to about 15 weight percent of a hydrogenated block copolymer of alkenyl aromatic compound and a conjugated diene having an alkenyl aromatic content of 40 to about 90 weight percent;
• about 1 to about 15 weight percent of an unhydrogenated block copolymer of alkenyl aromatic compound and a conjugated diene;
• and
• about 5 to less than 20 weight percent of glass fibers;
• wherein all weight percents are based on the total weight of the thermoplastic composition.
