Claims17
A composite article, comprising,
- (a) a molded part having a surface and comprising a thermoplastic polymeric composition comprising at least one thermoplastic polyamide and/or at least one thermoplastic polyester and at least one reinforcing agent and,
- (b) a thermoplastic polymeric film having first and second surfaces opposite each other,
- wherein the surface of the first component (a) is adhered to the first surface of the film (b) and wherein the second surface of film (b) forms a surface of the composite article;
- and wherein the thermoplastic polymeric composition has a tensile modulus of least about 11 GPa, as measured by ISO method 527-2:1993 at a rate of 5 mm/min on test specimens having a thickness of 4 mm;
- and a notched Charpy impact strength of at least about 35 kJ/m2, as measured by ISO method 179-1:2000.
