Abstract
A polymer composition hat comprises 100 parts by weight of a polymer matrix that includes at least one polyarylene sulfide and from about 30 parts by weight to about 120 parts by weight of inorganic fibers is provided. The polymer composition exhibits an initial tensile strength and an aged tensile strength after exposure to a solution containing 50 vol. % deionized water and 50 vol. % of ethylene glycol at a temperature of 135° C. for 1,000 hours. The ratio of the aged tensile strength to the initial tensile strength is about 0.8 or more.
