Reinforced polymetric materials, methods of manufacture thereof and articles comprising the same

A polymeric composite comprising:

• a first organic polymer that forms a first organic polymer phase;
• a second phase that comprises a crystalline organic polymer, wherein the crystalline organic polymer has a different molecular structure from the first organic polymer;
• wherein the second phase is not covalently bonded to the first organic polymer phase, wherein the polymeric composite has a tensile strength at break that is greater than the tensile strength of the first organic polymer without the low molecular weight compound, when tested as per ASTM D 638, an elongation at break that is greater than the elongation at break of the first organic polymer without the low molecular weight compound, when tested as per ASTM D 638 and an impact toughness that is greater than the impact toughness of the first organic polymer without the low molecular weight compound, when tested as per ASTM D 5045-99.
