Description:
LASER TRANSPARENT LOW WARPAGE GLASS FILLED PBT COMPOSITIONS FOR LASER WELDING FIELD OF THE DISCLOSURE [0001] The present disclosure relates to thermoplastic compositions, and in particular to extruded thermoplastic compositions that have a high glass fiber content and high laser transparency. BACKGROUND OF THE DISCLOSURE [0002] Laser welding is a technique employed for the joining of plastic parts; typically, at least one plastic part being laser transparent (a cover) and at least one part being laser absorbing (a substrate). The method of joining such parts may be useful for, but is not limited to, the preparation of water-tight enclosures for the automotive industry, for example, radio detection and ranging RADAR/ advanced driver assistance systems ADAS sensors. Glass-filled polybutylene terephthalate PBT is a typical material for these applications and is desirable for its balance of properties among high heat performance, chemical resistance to automotive fluids and chemicals, mechanical properties (including stiffness), and ease of use. However, because of the inherent nature of PBT being a semi- crystalline resin, the laser light gets scattered by the crystallites yielding poor laser weldability. Such a poor laser weldable performance may also be attributed to a lowered laser transmission because of the addition of a glass filler to the PBT. There remains a need in the art for filled, PBT-based laser weldable materials. These and other shortcomings are addressed by aspects of the present disclosure. SUMMARY [0003] Aspects of the disclosure relate to thermoplastic compositions comprising: from about 0.01 wt. % to about 90 wt. % of a polyalkylene terephthalate; from about greater than 0 wt. % to about 50 wt. % of a glass fiber; and from about 0.01 wt. % to about 45 wt. % of a high heat polycarbonate, wherein the high heat polymer has a glass transition temperature greater than 155 °C. The thermoplastic composition may exhibit laser transmission between 20% and 80% of incident laser light at a wavelength of 980 nm at 1 millimeter thickness when measured pursuant to DVS Regulation 2243, 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. Aspects of the disclosure further relate to methods of making a thermoplastic composition.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION [0021] The present disclosure can be understood more readily by reference to the following detailed description of the disclosure and the Examples included therein. [0022] Laser welding is a technique employed for the joining of plastic parts and is often employed in the production of water-tight enclosures for the automotive industry. While glass filled PBT is commonplace for automotive applications, the semi-crystallinity of PBT may cause these compounds to exhibit poor laser welding performance. Such a poor laser weldable performance may be attributed to lower laser transmission of the glass filled PBT. Typically, glass-fiber reinforced semi-crystalline polymer have a low-to-medium transparency for light, specifically laser light of 980 nm, because of the refractive index mismatch between the amorphous and the crystalline phase and with the glass-fiber filler. This mismatch may cause scattering of the light beam. While high crystallinity polymers are generally desired from a performance standpoint in terms of chemicals resistance, HDT, and stiffness, the higher the crystallinity of such materials, the more scattering takes place. As such, the light beam intensity, laser power, required for the welding operation must be increased. Low-to-medium laser transparency (high scattering) leads to limited laser welding speeds, requiring a high-power laser; both undesired because of cost-efficiency and the risk of deforming and charring the material. Hence, laser weldable glass-fiber reinforced semi-crystalline PBT compounds have proven difficult to achieve, particularly where a high degree of crystallinity is to be retained. [0023] Accordingly, a high laser transmission in addition to crystalline PBT is desired to reduce laser cycle times, allowing for higher thicknesses, and reducing the risk of charring the material. PBT is already considered a fast-crystallizing resin, providing a very high flow when molten. When injection molded it crystallizes rapidly in the mold allowing for short cycle times and easy mouldability. The addition of glass fiber fillers provides compositions having short term heat resistance (referring to a high Vicat softening temperature, or Heat Deflection Temperature, for example), a high stiffness, and dimensional stability. However, as described herein the addition of glass-fiber reduces laser transparency (caused by the scattering of light) and increases warpage. The glass fiber filler augments the scattering attributed to RI mismatch between the amorphous and the crystalline phase of the polymer resin. Scattering reduces the intensity of the laser beam and diffuse scattering causes the laser beam to broaden when hitting the laser absorbing substrate. The reduction can be compensated for, up to a level, by increased laser intensity and a decreased welding speed, however, when the Transmission level at 1.0 millimeter (mm) level drops below 10 %, laser weldability is considered severely hampered. This results in poor laser weld strength, and potential charring as well as requiring low laser speeds and high laser intensity; putting strain on production cycle times and the laser welding equipment. The present disclosure addresses the problem of providing glass filled PBT compounds which exhibit high crystallinity, high heat, high stiffness, low warpage, good thermal endurance, while also demonstrating sufficient laser tramnsparency for laser welding. [0024] The disclosed compositions include a 30% GF PBT compound, retaining all typical properties, while maintaining laser transparency and warpage comparable to that of an amorphous resin. As described further herein, laser transparency of semi-crystalline PBT was increased by incorporating a polycarbonate copolymer. The addition of small amounts of polycarbonate PC resin increased the amount of, and growth, of PBT crystallites resulting that enhanced laser transmission while retaining inherent PBT properties (including crystallinity). Warpage performance was improved by the usage of flat glass fibers affording glass-filled PBT compounds having laser transparency and warpage comparable to an amorphous resins while retaining typical glass-filled PBT properties. [0025] Other efforts have been made to achieve laser transparency of PBT-based polymer compositions. For example, by matching the refractive indexes of the individual components in the compounds, hampering the crystallization of PBT, and, most challenging, expediting crystal growth combined with increasing the amount of crystal nucleation sites resulting in small crystal sizes falling a size-range which does not interfere with the 980nm laser-light. Japanese published application, for example, JP2005/133087 discloses a resin composition incorporating PBT, polycarbonate, elastomer and a high refractive index silicone oil. However, the increase in transmission in the near infrared region achieved resulted in the loss of mechanical properties. [0026] Approaches to increase transparency of PBT by blending with, for example amorphous polyester polycarbonates are disclosed in U.S. Patent Publ. No.2011/0256406, DE 10230722 (U.S. Patent. No.20070129475), U.S. Patent No.20050165176 and U.S. Patent No.7396428. In addition, it has been disclosed in US Patent Publication No.2014-0179855 that near-infrared transparency (800- 2500 nanometers, nm) of the glass filled polymer blend containing crystalline or semicrystalline polymer and amorphous polymers is significantly improved upon replacement of the amorphous phase having a total Fries content of less than 100 parts per million, ppm by an amorphous phase with a total Fries content of 5400 ppm, as produced by melt polymerization. However, these compositions still exhibit inconsistent transparency in the region where laser light operates. [0027] US Patent Nos.8,889,768, 8,791,179, and 8,318,843 provide examples of expediting crystal growth. This is achieved by a chemical reaction between the nucleating agent and polymeric end groups of PBT to produce ionic end groups, which increases the rate of crystallization. Nevertheless, such chemical nucleation agents have disadvantages because they can degrade many of the amorphous materials used in PBT blends such as polycarbonates and polyester carbonates and the PBT itself as well. The outcomes of such degradations are unstable melt viscosities and deformations due to turbulent flow (splay and jetting). Another disadvantage of very quick crystallization induced by nucleating agents is the tendency to freeze stresses into the part, which can result in warpage. An additional disadvantage of expedited crystal growth is the effect of small-molecular additives being able to “plate-out” form the plastic compound, potentially disturbing secondary operation such as coatings/metallization and or causing the expelling of pollutants and debris. [0028] In view of the challenges described herein, there still exists demand for a glass-filled PBT compound that retains all of the inherent properties of a such semi-crystalline compound; while exhibiting high laser-transmission and low-warpage (similar to, for example, an amorphous resin). Compositions of the present disclosure provide laser transparent glass filled PBT compounds with reduced warpage to be used in the automotive industry. [0029] In various aspects, the present disclosure relates to thermoplastic compositions including: (a) from about 0.01 wt. % to about 90 wt. % of a polyalkylene terephthalate; (b) from about greater than 0 wt. % to about 50 wt. % of a glass fiber; and (c) from about 0.01 wt. % to about 50 wt. % of a high heat bisphenol A based polycarbonate copolymer; wherein the thermoplastic composition exhibits laser transmission between 20% and 80% of incident laser light at a wavelength of 980 nm at 1 millimeter thickness when measured pursuant to DVS Regulation 2243, 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. The disclosed composition may exhibit a heat deflection temperature of greater than 200 °C at 0.45 MPa when tested in accordance with ISO 76/Bf. [0030] Before the present compounds, compositions, articles, systems, devices, and/or methods are disclosed and described, it is to be understood that they are not limited to specific synthetic methods unless otherwise specified, or to particular reagents unless otherwise specified, as such can, of course, vary. It is also to be understood that the terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular aspects only and is not intended to be limiting. [0031] Various combinations of elements of this disclosure are encompassed by this disclosure, for example, combinations of elements from dependent claims that depend upon the same independent claim. Moreover, it is to be understood that unless otherwise expressly stated, it is in no way intended that any method set forth herein be construed as requiring that its steps be performed in a specific order. Accordingly, where a method claim does not actually recite an order to be followed by its steps or it is not otherwise specifically stated in the claims or descriptions that the steps are to be limited to a specific order, it is no way intended that an order be inferred, in any respect. This holds for any possible non-express basis for interpretation, including matters of logic with respect to arrangement of steps or operational flow; plain meaning derived from grammatical organization or punctuation; and the number or type of aspects described in the specification. All publications mentioned herein are incorporated herein by reference to disclose and describe the methods and/or materials in connection with which the publications are cited. Definitions [0032] It is also to be understood that the terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular aspects only and is not intended to be limiting. As used in the specification and in the claims, the term “comprising” can include the aspects “consisting of” and “consisting essentially of.” Unless defined otherwise, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this disclosure belongs. In this specification and in the claims, which follow, reference will be made to a number of terms which shall be defined herein. As used in the specification and the appended claims, the singular forms “a,” “an” and “the” include plural referents unless the context clearly dictates otherwise. Thus, for example, reference to “a polycarbonate” includes mixtures of two or more polycarbonate polymers. As used herein, the term “combination” is inclusive of blends, mixtures, alloys, reaction products, and the like. [0033] Ranges can be expressed herein as from one value (first value) to another value (second value). When such a range is expressed, the range includes in some aspects one or both of the first value and the second value. Similarly, when values are expressed as approximations, by use of the antecedent ‘about,’ it will be understood that the particular value forms another aspect. It will be further understood that the endpoints of each of the ranges are significant both in relation to the other endpoint, and independently of the other endpoint. It is also understood that there are a number of values disclosed herein, and that each value is also herein disclosed as “about” that particular value in addition to the value itself. For example, if the value “10” is disclosed, then “about 10” is also disclosed. It is also understood that each unit between two particular units are also disclosed. For example, if 10 and 15 are disclosed, then 11, 12, 13, and 14 are also disclosed. [0034] As used herein, the terms “about” and “at or about” mean that the amount or value in question can be the designated value, approximately the designated value, or about the same as the designated value. It is generally understood, as used herein, that it is the nominal value indicated ±10% variation unless otherwise indicated or inferred. The term is intended to convey that similar values promote equivalent results or effects recited in the claims. That is, it is understood that amounts, sizes, formulations, parameters, and other quantities and characteristics are not and need not be exact, but can be approximate and/or larger or smaller, as desired, reflecting tolerances, conversion factors, rounding off, measurement error and the like, and other factors known to those of skill in the art. In general, an amount, size, formulation, parameter or other quantity or characteristic is “about” or “approximate” whether or not expressly stated to be such. It is understood that where “about” is used before a quantitative value, the parameter also includes the specific quantitative value itself, unless specifically stated otherwise. [0035] As used herein, the terms “optional” or “optionally” means that the subsequently described event or circumstance can or cannot occur, and that the description includes instances where said event or circumstance occurs and instances where it does not. For example, the phrase “optional additive material” means that the additive material can or cannot be included in the thermoplastic composition and that the description includes thermoplastic compositions that both include and do not include additive materials. [0036] Disclosed are the components to be used to prepare the compositions of the disclosure as well as the compositions themselves to be used within the methods disclosed herein. These and other materials are disclosed herein, and it is understood that when combinations, subsets, interactions, groups, etc. of these materials are disclosed that while specific reference of each various individual and collective combinations and permutation of these compounds cannot be explicitly disclosed, each is specifically contemplated and described herein. For example, if a particular compound is disclosed and discussed and a number of modifications that can be made to a number of molecules including the compounds are discussed, specifically contemplated is each and every combination and permutation of the compound and the modifications that are possible unless specifically indicated to the contrary. Thus, if a class of molecules A, B, and C are disclosed as well as a class of molecules D, E, and F and an example of a combination molecule, A-D is disclosed, then even if each is not individually recited each is individually and collectively contemplated meaning combinations, A-E, A-F, B-D, B-E, B-F, C-D, C-E, and C-F are considered disclosed. Likewise, any subset or combination of these is also disclosed. Thus, for example, the sub-group of A-E, B-F, and C-E would be considered disclosed. This concept applies to all aspects of this application including, but not limited to, steps in methods of making and using the compositions of the disclosure. Thus, if there are a variety of additional steps that can be performed it is understood that each of these additional steps can be performed with any specific aspect or combination of aspects of the methods of the disclosure. [0037] References in the specification and concluding claims to parts by weight of a particular element or component in a composition or article, denotes the weight relationship between the element or component and any other elements or components in the composition or article for which a part by weight is expressed. Thus, in a compound containing 2 parts by weight of component X and 5 parts by weight component Y, X and Y are present at a weight ratio of 2:5, and are present in such ratio regardless of whether additional components are contained in the compound. A weight percent of a component, unless specifically stated to the contrary, is based on the total weight of the formulation or composition in which the component is included. [0038] The terms “BisA,” “BPA,” or “bisphenol A,” which can be used interchangeably, as used herein refers to a compound having a structure represented by the formula: BisA can also be referred to by the name 4,4’-(propane-2,2-diyl)diphenol; p,p’- isopropylidenebisphenol; or 2,2-bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)propane. BisA has the CAS # 80-05-7. [0039] As used herein, “polycarbonate” refers to an oligomer or polymer including residues of one or more dihydroxy compounds, for example, dihydroxy aromatic compounds, joined by carbonate linkages; it also encompasses homopolycarbonates, copolycarbonates, and (co)polyester carbonates. [0040] As used herein, the term "PPPBP" as used herein refers to a compound having a structure represented by the formula: PPPBP can also be referred to b3,3-bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)-2-phenyl-1- isoindolinone. PPPBP has CAS # 6607-41-6. [0041] As used herein, the term “transparent” means that the level of transmittance for a disclosed composition is from 20% to 80%, specifically greater than 50%. More specifically, the transmittance may refer to transmittance of laser irradiation. In some aspects, the transmittance can be at least 60%, 70%, 80%, 85%, 90%, or 95%, or any range of transmittance values derived from the above exemplified values. In the definition of “transparent”, the term “transmittance” refers to the amount of incident laser radiation that passes through a sample measured in accordance with at a thickness of 0.8 millimeter (mm) to 5 mm. As a further example, laser transmission may be observed at a wavelength of 980 nm at 1 millimeter thickness and measured pursuant to DVS Regulation 2243 on a LPKF TMG3 instrument. [0042] The terms “residues” and “structural units”, used in reference to the constituents of the polymers, are synonymous throughout the specification. As used herein the terms “weight percent,” “wt%,” and “wt. %,” which can be used interchangeably, indicate the percent by weight of a given component based on the total weight of the composition, unless otherwise specified. That is, unless otherwise specified, all wt% values are based on the total weight of the composition. It should be understood that the sum of wt% values for all components in a disclosed composition or formulation are equal to 100. [0043] Unless otherwise stated to the contrary herein, all test standards are the most recent standard in effect at the time of filing this application. Each of the materials disclosed herein are either commercially available and/or the methods for the production thereof are known to those of skill in the art. It is understood that the compositions disclosed herein have certain functions. Disclosed herein are certain structural requirements for performing the disclosed functions and it is understood that there are a variety of structures that can perform the same function that are related to the disclosed structures, and that these structures will typically achieve the same result. [0044] As used herein, the terms “number average molecular weight” or “Mn” can be used interchangeably, and refer to the statistical average molecular weight of all the polymer chains in the sample and is defined by the formula: where M i is the molecular weight of a chain and N i is the number of chains of that molecular weight. M n can be determined for polymers, e.g., polycarbonate polymers, by methods well known to a person having ordinary skill in the art using molecular weight standards, e.g., polycarbonate standards or polystyrene standards, preferably certified or traceable molecular weight standards. [0045] As used herein, the terms “weight average molecular weight” or “Mw” can be used interchangeably, and are defined by the formula: where M i is the molecular weight of a chain and N i is the number of chains of that molecular weight. Compared to M n , M w takes into account the molecular weight of a given chain in determining contributions to the molecular weight average. Thus, the greater the molecular weight of a given chain, the more the chain contributes to the M w . M w can be determined for polymers, e.g. polycarbonate polymers, by methods well known to a person having ordinary skill in the art using molecular weight standards, e.g. polycarbonate standards or polystyrene standards, preferably certified or traceable molecular weight standards. Laser weldable compositions [0046] Aspects of the disclosure relate to thermoplastic compositions including: (a) from about 0.01 wt. % to about 90 wt. % of a polyalkylene terephthalate; (b) from about greater than 0 wt. % to about 50 wt. % of a glass fiber; and (c) from about 0.01 wt. % to about 45 wt. % of a high heat polycarbonate. 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 extruded thermoplastic composition. The disclosed compositions are glass filled PBT resins that exhibit high crystallinity, high heat, high stiffness, low warpage, good thermal endurance and laser transparency making them suitable to laser welding purposes. Furthermore, these compositions may provide improved sustainability as they can optionally comprise a post-consumer or post-industrial recycled source for the PBT, or a bio-based source (or a combination thereof) for the PBT. For example, the compositions may comprise filled iQ- PBT or post-consumer recycled PBT (PCR-PBT). [0047] The disclosed compositions may exhibit a laser transmission between 20% and 80% of incident laser light at a wavelength of 980 nm at 1 millimeter thickness when measured pursuant to DVS Regulation 2243. In yet further examples, an injection molded sample of the thermoplastic composition exhibits an enthalpy of fusion that is within 10% or within 5% of the enthalpy of fusion of a reference composition comprising PBT and glass fiber as measured according to melting enthalpy by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) in a first heating run after injection molding. Polyester [0048] In various aspects of the present disclosure, the thermoplastic resin may comprise a polyester. For example, the thermoplastic resin may comprise a polyalkylene ester (a polyester), such as a polyalkylene terephthalate polymer. In various aspects, the composition may comprise a polyalkylene terephthalate component. [0049] Polyesters have repeating units of the following formula (A): wherein T is a residue derived from a terephthalic acid or chemical equivalent thereof, and D is a residue derived from polymerization of an ethylene glycol, butylene diol, specifically 1,4- butane diol, or chemical equivalent thereof. Chemical equivalents of diacids include dialkyl esters, for example, dimethyl esters, diaryl esters, anhydrides, salts, acid chlorides, acid bromides, and the like. Chemical equivalents of ethylene diol and butylene diol include esters, such as dialkylesters, diaryl esters, and the like. In addition to units derived from a terephthalic acid or chemical equivalent thereof, and ethylene glycol or a butylene diol, specifically 1,4-butane diol, or chemical equivalent thereof, other T and/or D units can be present in the polyester, provided that the type or amount of such units do not significantly adversely affect the desired properties of the thermoplastic compositions. Poly(alkylene arylates) can have a polyester structure according to formula (A), wherein T comprises groups derived from aromatic dicarboxylates, cycloaliphatic dicarboxylic acids, or derivatives thereof. [0050] Examples of specifically useful T groups include, but are not limited to, 1,2-,1,3-, and 1,4-phenylene; 1,4- and 1,5-naphthylenes; cis- or trans- 1,4-cyclohexylene; and the like. Specifically, where T is 1,4-phenylene, the poly(alkylene arylate) is a poly(alkylene terephthalate). In addition, for poly(alkylene arylate), specifically useful alkylene groups D include, for example, ethylene, 1,4- butylene, and bis-(alkylene-disubstituted cyclohexane) including cis- and/or trans- l,4- (cyclohexylene)dimethylene. [0051] Examples of polyalkylene terephthalate include polyethylene terephthalate (PET), poly(1,4-butylene terephthalate) (PBT), and poly(propylene terephthalate) (PPT). Also useful are poly(alkylene naphthoates), such as poly(ethylene naphthanoate) (PEN), and poly(butylene naphthanoate) (PBN). A useful poly(cycloalkylene diester) is poly(cyclohexanedimethylene terephthalate) (PCT). Combinations including at least one of the foregoing may be used. [0052] Copolymers including alkylene terephthalate repeating ester units with other ester groups can also be useful. Useful ester units can include different alkylene terephthalate units, which can be present in the polymer chain as individual units, or as blocks of poly(alkylene terephthalates). Specific examples of such copolymers include poly(cyclohexanedimethylene terephthalate)-co-poly(ethylene terephthalate), abbreviated as PETG where the polymer includes greater than or equal to 50 mol % of poly(ethylene terephthalate), and abbreviated as PCTG where the polymer comprises greater than 50 mol % of poly(l,4-cyclohexanedimethylene terephthalate). Poly(cycloalkylene diester)s can also include poly(alkylene cyclohexanedicarboxylate)s. Of these, a specific example is poly(l,4- cyclohexane- dimethanol-l,4-cyclohexanedicarboxylate) (PCCD), having recurring units of formula (B): wherein, as described using formula (A), R 2 is a 1,4-cyclohexanedimethylene group derived from 1,4- cyclohexanedimethanol, and T is a cyclohexane ring derived from cyclohexanedicarboxylate or a chemical equivalent thereof, and can comprise the cis-isomer, the trans-isomer, or a combination comprising at least one of the foregoing isomers. [0053] In another aspect, the composition can further comprise poly(l,4-butylene terephthalate) or "PBT" resin. PBT may be obtained by polymerizing a glycol component of which at least 70 mol %, or at least 80 mol %, consists of tetramethylene glycol and an acid or ester component of which at least 70 mol %, or at least 80 mol %, consists of terephthalic acid and/or polyester-forming derivatives thereof. Commercial examples of PBT include those available under the trade names VALOX™ 315, VALOX™ 195 and VALOX™ 176, manufactured by SABIC™, having an intrinsic viscosity of 0.1 deciliters per gram (dl/g) to about 2.0 dl/g (or 0.1 dl/g to 2 dl/g) as measured in a 60:40 phenol/tetrachloroethane mixture or similar solvent at 23 degrees Celsius (°C) to 30° C. VALOX™ 315 may be referred to as a high viscosity PBT having a melt viscosity between 7500 and 9500 poise. VALOX™ 195 may be referred to as a low viscosity PBT having a melt viscosity between 740 and 900 poise. In one aspect, the PBT resin has an intrinsic viscosity of 0.1 dl/g to 1.4 dl/g (or about 0.1 dl/g to about 1.4 dl/g). Melt viscosity my be be measured in accordance with ISO 11443 and intrinsic viscosity may be measured in accordance with ISO 307/DIN 51552. VALOX™ 315 may be referred to as a high molecular weight PBT having a molecular weight between 80,000 and 300,000 grams per mole (g/mol), for example, 115,000 g/mol using polystyrene standards. VALOX™ 195 may be referred to as a low molecular weight PBT having a molecular weight between 30,000 g/mol and 100,000 g/mol, for example 66,000 g/mol, using polystyrene standards. [0054] In various aspects, the polyester may comprise a “post-consumer recycled PBT,” or “recycled PET,” or “postindustrial recycled PBT.” As used herein, the term “post-consumer recycled PBT,” or “recycled PET,” or “postindustrial recycled PBT” may refer to a recycled PBT that comprises at least one impurity not present in a corresponding, substantially similar or identical virgin PBT. The PBT may be reclaimed from post-consumer sources, including but not limited to, home appliances waste for example TV, air-conditioners, washing machines, refrigerators, and like. Post- consumer or post-industrial recycle based components are specifically meant to be “up-cycled” polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) polymers. The term “up-cycled” constitutes the process where post- consumer or post-industrial recycle polyethylene terephthalate (rPET) is chemically brought back to monomers, such as the terephthalate containing monomer bis(2-hydroxyethyl) terephthalate (BHET) and ethylene glycol (EG). Subsequently, BHET is polymerized with butanediol (BDO) to create PBT. Within SABIC this is known as the “iQ process”. A number of process and product patents have been granted to SABIC on this technology. [0055] Commercial examples of an upcycled PBT include those available under the trade name ELCRIN TM iQ Resin, manufactured by SABIC. The modified PBT may be derived from the poly(ethylene terephthalate) component by any method that involves depolymerization of the poly(ethylene terephthalate) component and polymerization of the depolymerized poly(ethylene terephthalate) component with 1,4 butanediol to provide the modified PBT. For example, the modified poly(butylene terephthalate) component may be made by a process that involves depolymerizing a poly(ethylene terephthalate) and/or a poly(ethylene terephthalate) copolymer, with a 1,4 butanediol component at a temperature from 180 °C to 230 °C, under agitation, at a pressure that is at least atmospheric pressure in the presence of a catalyst component, at an elevated temperature, under an inert atmosphere, to produce a molten mixture containing an oligomer containing ethylene terephthalate moieties, an oligomer containing ethylene isophthalate moieties, an oligomer containing diethylene terephthalate moieties, an oligomer containing diethylene isophthalate moieties, an oligomer containing butylene terephthalate moieties, an oligomer containing butylene isophthalate moieties, a covalently bonded oligomeric moiety containing at least two of the foregoing moieties, 1,4 butanediol, ethylene glycol, or a combination thereof; and agitating the molten mixture at sub- atmospheric pressure and increasing the temperature of the molten mixture to an elevated temperature under conditions sufficient to form a modified PBT containing at least one residue derived from the poly(ethylene terephthalate) component. [0056] As described herein, the composition may comprise from about 0.01 wt. % to about 90 wt. % of a polyalkylene terephthalate component. In further examples, the composition may comprise from about 5 wt. % to about 90 wt. % of a polyalkylene terephthalate, or from about 10 wt. % to about 90 wt. % of a polyalkylene terephthalate component, or from about 15 wt. % to about 90 wt. % of a polyalkylene terephthalate component, or from about 60 wt. % to about 90 wt. % of a polyalkylene terephthalate component, or from about 70 wt. % to about 90 wt. % of a polyalkylene terephthalate component, or from about 90 wt. % to about 90 wt. % of a polyalkylene terephthalate component, or from about 55 wt. % to about 90 wt. % of a polyalkylene terephthalate component, or from about 60 wt. % to about 90 wt. % of a polyalkylene terephthalate, or from about 75 wt. % to about 99 wt. % of a polyalkylene terephthalate component. [0057] In further aspects, the polyalkylene terephthalate component may comprise a combination of polyalkylene terephthalate polymers. For example, the polyalkylene terephthalate component may comprise at least two polyalkylene terephthalate polymers. The combination of polyalkylene terephthalate polymer may refer to different types of polyalkylene terephthalate polymers, such as, polybutylene terephthalate PBT and polyethylene terephthalate PET. In other aspects, the combination of polyalkylene terephthalate polymers may refer to a combination of polyalkylene terephthalate polymer having varying molecular weight or intrinsic viscosity or melt viscosity, such as a high and a low molecular weight PBT or a high and low melt viscosity PBT or a high and low intrinsic viscosity PBT. [0058] In some aspects, the polyalkylene terephthalate component may comprise a first polyalkylene terephthalate polymer and a second polyalkylene terephthalate component, wherein the first and second polyalkylene terephthalate polymer differ according to the molecular weight or intrinsic viscosity or melt viscosity of the polymer. In specific examples, the polyalkylene terephthalate component may comprise a first PBT and a second PBT wherein the first PBT is a high molecular weight or high viscosity PBT. In some examples, the polyalkylene terephthalate component may comprise a high viscosity PBT and a low viscosity PBT. [0059] A high viscosity PBT may have a melt viscosity of between 7500 and 9500 poise when measured in accordance with ISO 11443. A low viscosity PBT may have a melt viscosity between 740 and 900 poise when tested in accordance with ISO 11443. A high viscosity PBT may have an intrinsic viscosity of between 7500 and 9500 poise when measured in accordance with IS) 307/DIN51552. A low viscosity PBT may have an intrinsic viscosity between 740 and 900 poise when tested in accordance with ISO 307/DIN 51552. In yet further examples, the polyalkylene terephthalate component may comprise a high molecular weight PBT and a low molecular weight PBT. A high molecular weight PBT may have a molecular weight of from about 80,000 and 300,000 g/mol, or from about 80,000 g/mol to about 200,000 g/mol, or from about 80,000 g/mol to about 150,000 g/mol, or from about 90,000 g/mol to about 150,000 g/mol as measured by gel permeation chromatography with polystyrene standards. A low molecular weight PBT may have a molecular weight of from about 20,000 g/mol to about 100,000 g/mol, or from about 30,000 g/mol to about 100,000 g/mol, or from about 30,000 g/mol to about 90,000 g/mol, or from about 20,000 g/mol to about 80,000 g/mol, or from about 30,000 g/mol to about 80,000 g/mol as measured by gel permeation chromatography with polystyrene standards. [0060] The polyalkylene terephthalate component may be present from about 0.01 wt. % to about 90 wt. % of PBT. In further examples, the composition may comprise from about 5 wt. % to about 90 wt. % of PBT, or from about 10 wt. % to about 90 wt. % of PBT, or from about 15 wt. % to about 90 wt. % of PBT, or from about 60 wt. % to about 90 wt. % of PBT, or from about 70 wt. % to about 90 wt. % of PBT, or from about 90 wt. % to about 90 wt. % of PBT, or from about 55 wt. % to about 90 wt. % of PBT, or from about 60 wt. % to about 90 wt. % of PBT, or from about 75 wt. % to about 99 wt. % of PBT. In yet further aspects, the polyalkylene terephthalate component comprises a first and second PBT polymer in a ratio of about 3:1 to 1:1. Glass Fiber [0061] The disclosed thermoplastic compositions may comprise a glass fiber. It is known that glass fiber filled resins offer enhanced structural properties versus their short glass fiber counterparts, including a balance of impact strength and stiffness, with improved resistance to crack propagation. The resin compositions disclosed herein may include a glass fiber. [0062] In various aspects, the glass fiber can be a reinforcing filler increasing, for example, the flexural modulus and strength of the polyamide base resin. As an example, the diameter of the glass fiber can range from about 5 µm (micrometer) to about 35 µm. Generally, where a thermoplastic resin is reinforced with glass fibers in a composition form, fibers having a length of about 0.4 mm (millimeter) or longer are referred to long fibers, and fibers shorter than this are referred to as short fibers. In one aspect, the diameter of the glass fibers can be about 10 µm. In a further aspect, the glass fibers have a length of 1 mm or longer. In a further example, the glass fibers can have a length of about 3.2 mm (or 1/8 inch). [0063] The glass fiber may also be produced with various shapes. Glass fibers having a length of about 0.4 mm (millimeter) or longer are referred to long fibers, and fibers shorter than this are referred to as short fibers. The glass fiber may have a round, flat, or irregular cross-section. Thus, use of non- round fiber cross sections is possible. In a still further aspect, the long glass fiber has a circular cross- section. In a yet further aspect, the diameter of the long glass fiber is from about 1 to about 15 µm. The diameter of the glass fiber may be from about 4 to about 10 µm. The diameter of the glass fiber may be from about 1 to about 10 µm. In one aspect, the diameter of the glass fibers can be about 10 µm. [0064] In certain aspects, the glass fiber may comprise a flat glass fiber. Flat glass fiber may refer to a glass fiber having a flat cross-section. A flat glass fiber may have an aspect ratio for the flat cross-section of 2 to 5 or from about 2 to about 5. For example, the flat cross-section glass may have a flat ratio of 4:1, and 2:1. Use of a flat glass fiber may further support flatness, warpage, of a molded part comprising the composition. To meet considerations with for example complex electronic components and their assembly, a PBT compound with both low flatness (low warpage) at desirable if not critical. The glass type itself can comprise of standard E-glass but also special NE-glass which has improved D k /D f performance which is a specific feature as demanded for wireless connectivity applications and autonomous driving systems relying on RADAR technologies. To compatibilize the glass filler with the polymer resin a non-specified coating/sizing can be applied to the glass, reducing the risk of having “floating” glass in referred to compounds. The present disclosure meets this need and others. With included flat glass fiber, the disclosed PBT compositions may thus have minimal warpage, more specifically, good planar flatness. [0065] As noted herein, in certain examples the composition disclosed herein includes from 5 to 70 wt. %, or from about 5 to about 65 wt. %, or from 10 to 65 wt. %, or from about 10 to about 65 wt. % glass fiber. In other examples, the resin composition includes from 10 to 50 wt. %, or from about 10 to about 50 wt. % glass fiber, or 10 to 40 wt. %, from about 10 to about 40 wt. %, or from 10 to 30 wt. %, about 10 to about 30 wt. %, or even from 10 to 20 wt. %, or from about 10 to about 20 wt. % glass fiber. High Heat or Non-miscible Polymer [0066] Aspects of the disclosure relate to a composition comprising a high heat polymer or a non-miscible polymer. A sufficiently high-heat polymer may have sufficient heat to retain mechanical properties of typical PBT materials. In various examples, the high heat polymer is a high heat polycarbonate. An appropriate non-miscible or immiscible polymer may maintain crystallinity of the base PBT resin. [0067] As provided herein, the composition comprises a high heat polycarbonate copolymer. A polycarbonate material or mixture of materials, for example, as recited in U.S. Patent No.7,786,246, which is hereby incorporated in its entirety for the specific purpose of disclosing various polycarbonate compositions and methods. The polycarbonate copolymer composition may be bisphenol based. For example, a high heat polycarbonate polymer, such as, for example, a polycarbonate comprising repeat units derived from a 3,3-bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)-2-phenylisoindolin- 1-one (PPPBP), also referred to herein as a PPPBP containing polycarbonate (PPPBP- PC). [0068] Another type of high heat polycarbonate that can be used includes a high heat carbonate group, optionally together with a low heat carbonate group. A combination of different high heat groups or low heat groups can be used. The low heat carbonate group can be derived from bisphenols of formula (C) wherein X a is a C 1-18 bridging group. For example, X a can be a C 3-6 cycloalkylidene, a C 1-6 alkylidene of the formula -C(R c )(R d ) - wherein R c and R d are each independently hydrogen, C 1-5 alkyl, or a group of the formula -C(=R e )- wherein R e is a divalent C 1-5 hydrocarbon group. Formula C [0069] Some illustrative examples of dihydroxy compounds that can be used in the manufacture of the low heat monomer units are described, for example, in WO 2013/175448 A1, US 2014/0295363, and WO 2014/072923. In an aspect, the low heat carbonate group is derived from bisphenol A, which provides the low heat group of the following formula (D). Formula D [0070] The high heat carbonate group is derived from a high heat bisphenol monomer. As used herein, a high heat bisphenol monomer is a monomer where the corresponding homopolycarbonate of the monomer has a glass transition temperature (Tg) of 170°C or higher, determined per ASTM D3418 with a 20 °C/min heating rate. Examples of such high heat bisphenol groups include groups of formulas (E) to (K). wherein R c and R d are each independently a C 1-12 alkyl, C 2-12 alkenyl, C 3-8 cycloalkyl, or C 1-12 alkoxy, each R f is hydrogen or both R f together are a carbonyl group, each R 3 is independently C 1-6 alkyl, R 4 is hydrogen, C 1-6 alkyl, or phenyl optionally substituted with 1-5 C 1-6 alkyl groups, each R 6 is independently C1-3 alkyl, or phenyl, methyl, X a is a C6-12 polycyclic aryl, C3-18 mono- or polycycloalkylene, C 3-18 mono- or polycycloalkylidene, -C(R h )(R g )- wherein R h is hydrogen, C 1- 12 alkyl, or C 6-12 aryl and R g is C 6-10 alkyl, C 6-8 cycloalkyl, or C 6-12 aryl, or - (Q 1 ) x -G-(Q 2 ) y - wherein Q 1 and Q 2 are each independently a C 1-3 alkylene, G is a C 3-10 cycloalkylene, x is 0 or 1, and y is 1, and j, m and n are each independently 0-4, or 0 or 1. A combination of high heat bisphenol groups can be used. [0071] In an aspect in formulas (6)-(12), R c and R d are each independently a C 1-3 alkyl, or C 1- 3 alkoxy, each R 6 is methyl, each R 3 is independently C 1-3 alkyl, R 4 is methyl, or phenyl, each R 6 is independently C 1-3 alkyl or phenyl, methyl, X a is a C 6-12 polycyclic aryl, C 3-18 mono- or polycycloalkylene, C 3-18 mono- or polycycloalkylidene, -C(R f )(R g )- wherein R f is hydrogen, C 1- 12 alkyl, or C 6-12 aryl and R g is C 6-10 alkyl, C 6-8 cycloalkyl, or C 6-12 aryl, or - (Q 1 ) x -G-(Q 2 ) y - group, wherein Q 1 and Q 2 are each independently a C 1-3 alkylene and G is a C 3-10 cycloalkylene, x is 0 or 1, and y is 0 or 1, and j, m, and n are each independently 0 or 1. [0072] Suitable examples of high heat bisphenol groups are shown below

In a specific aspect each bond of the bisphenol group is located para to the linking group that is X a . In an aspect, R c and R d are each independently a C 1-3 alkyl, or C 1-3 alkoxy, each R 2 is methyl, x is 0 or 1, y is 1, and m and n are each independently 0 or 1. [0073] The high heat bisphenol group may be of formula (X) or (Y) wherein R 4 is methyl or phenyl, each R 2 is methyl, and g is 1-4. Preferably, the high heat bisphenol group is derived from N-phenyl phenolphthalein bisphenol (PPPBP, also known as 2-phenyl-3,3'- bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)) or from 1,1-bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)-3,3,5-trimethyl-cyclohexane (BP-TMC). [0074] This high heat polycarbonate can include 0-90 mol%, or 10-80 mol% of low heat aromatic carbonate units, preferably bisphenol A carbonate units; and 10-100 mol%, preferably 20-90 mol% of high heat aromatic carbonate units, even more preferably wherein the high heat carbonate units are derived from 1,1-bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)-3,3,5-trimethyl-cyclohexane,, 4,4'-(1- phenylethylidene)bisphenol, 4,4'-(3,3-dimethyl-2,2-dihydro-1H-indene-1,1-diyl)diphenol, 1,1-bis(4- hydroxyphenyl)cyclododecane, 3,8-dihydroxy-5a,10b-diphenyl-coumarano-2',3',2,3-coumarane, or a combination thereof, wherein each amount is based on the total moles of the carbonate units, which sums to 100 mol%. [0075] In certain aspects, the high heat polycarbonate includes 60-80 mol% of bisphenol A carbonate units and 20-40 mol% of high heat aromatic carbonate units derived from 1,1-bis(4- hydroxyphenyl)-3,3,5-trimethyl-cyclohexane, N-phenyl phenolphthalein bisphenol, or a combination thereof, wherein each amount is based on the total moles of the carbonate units, which sums to 100 mol%. The high heat polycarbonates comprising high heat carbonate units can have an Mw of 10,000-50,000 g/mol, or 16,000-300,000 g/mol, as measured by gel permeation chromatography (GPC), using a crosslinked styrene-divinylbenzene column and calibrated to bisphenol A homopolycarbonate references. GPC samples are prepared at a concentration of 1 mg per ml and are eluted at a flow rate of 1.5 ml per minute. [0076] The composition may have a high glass transition temperature (T g ). The T g of the high heat polycarbonates is 155 to 280 °C, or from about 165 to 260 °C, or from about 185 to 230 °C, determined by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) as per ASTM D3418 with a 20 °C/min heating rate. [0077] The high heat polycarbonates can have high heat resistance. The heat deflection temperature (HDT) of the high heat polycarbonates is 145 to 270 ^C, more preferably 155 to 260 ^C, even more preferably 175 to 220 °C, measured flat on a 80 × 10 × 4 millimeter (mm) bar with a 64 mm span at 0.45 megapascals, MPa, according to ISO 75/Bf. The high heat polycarbonates can have a high Vicat softening temperature. In an aspect, the high heat polycarbonates have a Vicat B120 of 150 to 275 °C, preferably 160 to 255 °C, even more preferably 180 to 225 °C, measured according to ISO 306. [0078] The high heat polycarbonates are essentially free of certain metal ions, anions, and low molecular weight molecules (fewer than 150 grams per mol, g/mol). Such levels of these metal ions may further enhance the optical properties of the thermoplastic compositions. In an aspect, the copolycarbonates comprise less than 2 ppm of each of triethyl amine, calcium ions, magnesium ions, potassium ions, iron ions, and chloride ions. [0079] In some aspects, the high heat polycarbonate copolymer is a copolymer including repeating units derived from bisphenol A. The polycarbonate may include polycarbonate monomers such as, but not limited to, 2-phenyl-3,3’-bis (4-hydroxy phenyl) phthalimidine (PPPBP). [0080] High-heat polycarbonates may comprise polycarbonates having a glass transition temperature T g of from 170 to 280 degrees Celsius (℃) and /or a crystalline melting point T m from 200 to 400 ℃. Preferably, the high heat polycarbonate has a glass transition temperature grater than 155 °C, preferably greater than 165 °C, even more preferably greater than 175 °C. Isoindolinone bisphenol homopolymers of PPP-BP and high PPP-BP content copolymers (for example, polycarbonates and polycarbonate copolymers) and isophorone bisphenol polycarbonates have a comparatively high T g compared to polycarbonates such as bisphenol A polycarbonate (BPA-PC). [0081] In yet further aspects, the composition may comprise a non-miscible polymer. That is, the polymer may be non-miscible or immiscible with the polyester phase of the present composition. Such a non-miscible polymer may retain crystallinity of the PBT phase. As such, the crystallinity may be a measure of non-miscibility of a given polymer for applicability in the present disclosure. Given a melt depression, two glass transition temperatures would be apparent where the polymer is immiscible or non-miscible with PBT. [0082] Crystallinity may be measured using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) as the melting enthalpy of a PBT based-composition, which melts at a particular temperature. It is further noted that the crystallinity/melting enthalpy values refer to the portion of crystalline resin for the calculations, excluding the amorphous fraction. Without intent to be bound by any particular theory, it is noted that the heat deflection temperature of a glass-filled PBT composition may depend upon the PBT: glass fiber ratio while the onset temperature of PBT melting is independent of the composition. [0083] The high heat polycarbonates can be present in an amount of 10 wt.% to 99 wt.%, of 20 wt.% to 80 wt.%, of 40 wt.% to 70 wt.%, or of 50 wt.% to 70 wt.% based on the total weight of the compositions. As noted herein, in certain examples the composition disclosed herein includes from 0.01 wt. % to 50 wt. %, or from about 0.01 wt. % to about 45 wt. %, or from 0.1 wt. % to 50 wt. %, or from about 0.1 wt. % to about 45 wt. % of a high heat polymer or non-miscible polymer. In other examples, the composition includes from 2 wt. % to 25 wt. %, or from about 2 wt. % to about 15 wt. % of a high heat polymer or non-miscible polymer, or 3 wt. % to 15 wt. %, from about 3 wt. % to about 12 wt. %, or from 3 wt. % to 20 wt. %, about 2 wt. % to about 40 wt. %, or even from 3 wt. % to 40 wt. %, or from about 1 wt. % to about 15 wt. % of a high heat polymer or non-miscible polymer Additives [0084] The disclosed thermoplastic composition can comprise one or more additives conventionally used in the manufacture of molded thermoplastic parts with the proviso that the optional additives do not adversely affect the desired properties of the resulting composition. Mixtures of optional additives can also be used. Such additives can be mixed at a suitable time during the mixing of the components for forming the composition mixture. Exemplary additives can include ultraviolet agents, ultraviolet stabilizers, heat stabilizers, antistatic agents, anti-microbial agents, anti- drip agents, radiation stabilizers, pigments, dyes, colorants, fibers, fillers, plasticizers, fibers, flame retardants, antioxidants, lubricants, wood, glass, and metals, and combinations thereof. According to certain aspects, the polymer compositions may maintain mechanical and dielectric performance even with high levels of fillers (for example, greater than 30 wt. % filler based on the total weight of the polymer composition). [0085] The composition disclosed herein can comprise one or more additional fillers. The filler can be selected to impart additional impact strength and/or provide additional characteristics that can be based on the final selected characteristics of the polymer composition. In some aspects, the filler(s) can comprise inorganic materials which can include clay, titanium oxide, asbestos fibers, silicates and silica powders, boron powders, calcium carbonates, talc, kaolin, sulfides, barium compounds, metals and metal oxides, wollastonite, glass spheres, glass fibers, flaked fillers, fibrous fillers, natural fillers and reinforcements, and reinforcing organic fibrous fillers. In certain aspects, the composition may comprise a glass fiber filler. For example, the composition may comprise from about 0.01 wt. % to about 25 wt. %, from about 10 wt. % to about 25 wt. %, from about 15 wt. % to about 25 wt. %, of a glass fiber filler based on the total weight of the composition. In yet further aspects, the composition may be free or substantially free of a glass filler. [0086] Appropriate fillers or reinforcing agents can include, for example, mica, clay, feldspar, quartz, quartzite, perlite, tripoli, diatomaceous earth, aluminum silicate (mullite), synthetic calcium silicate, fused silica, fumed silica, sand, boron-nitride powder, boron-silicate powder, calcium sulfate, calcium carbonates (such as chalk, limestone, marble, and synthetic precipitated calcium carbonates) talc (including fibrous, modular, needle shaped, and lamellar talc), wollastonite, hollow or solid glass spheres, silicate spheres, cenospheres, aluminosilicate or (armospheres), kaolin, whiskers of silicon carbide, alumina, boron carbide, iron, nickel, or copper, continuous and chopped carbon fibers or glass fibers, molybdenum sulfide, zinc sulfide, barium titanate, barium ferrite, barium sulfate, heavy spar, titanium dioxide, aluminum oxide, magnesium oxide, particulate or fibrous aluminum, bronze, zinc, copper, or nickel, glass flakes, flaked silicon carbide, flaked aluminum diboride, flaked aluminum, steel flakes, natural fillers such as wood flour, fibrous cellulose, cotton, sisal, jute, starch , lignin, ground nut shells, or rice grain husks, reinforcing organic fibrous fillers such as poly(ether ketone), polyimide, polybenzoxazole, poly(phenylene sulfide), polyesters, polyethylene, aromatic polyamides, aromatic polyimides, polyetherimides, polytetrafluoroethylene, and poly(vinyl alcohol), as well combinations comprising at least one of the foregoing fillers or reinforcing agents. The fillers and reinforcing agents may be coated, or surface treated, with silanes for example, to improve adhesion and dispersion with the polymer matrix. Fillers generally can be used in amounts of 1 to 200 parts by weight, based on 100 parts by weight of based on 100 parts by weight of the total composition. [0087] In some aspects, the thermoplastic composition may comprise a synergist. In various examples fillers may serve as flame retardant synergists. The synergist facilitates an improvement in the flame retardant properties when added to the flame retardant composition over a comparative composition that contains all of the same ingredients in the same quantities except for the synergist. Examples of mineral fillers that may serve as synergists are mica, talc, calcium carbonate, dolomite, wollastonite, barium sulfate, silica, kaolin, feldspar, barytes, or the like, or a combination comprising at least one of the foregoing mineral fillers. Metal synergists, for example, antimony oxide, can also be used with the flame retardant. In one example, the synergist may comprise magnesium hydroxide and phosphoric acid.

EXAMPLES [00128] The following examples are put forth so as to provide those of ordinary skill in the art with a complete disclosure and description of how the compounds, compositions, articles, devices and/or methods claimed herein are made and evaluated, and are intended to be purely exemplary and are not intended to limit the disclosure. Efforts have been made to ensure accuracy with respect to numbers (for example, amounts, temperature, etc.), but some errors and deviations should be accounted for. Unless indicated otherwise, parts are parts by weight, temperature is in °C or is at ambient temperature, and pressure is at or near atmospheric. Unless indicated otherwise, percentages referring to composition are in terms of wt %. There are numerous variations and combinations of reaction conditions, for example, component concentrations, desired solvents, solvent mixtures, temperatures, pressures and other reaction ranges and conditions that can be used to optimize the product purity and yield obtained from the described process. Only reasonable and routine experimentation will be required to optimize such process conditions. [00129] Table 1 (FIG.1) presents comparative examples of polybutylene resins with 30 wt. % glass fiber. Physical properties are presented in Table 2 (FIG.2). The comparative compositions exhibit 20% laser transmission, a heat deflection temperature of 202 °C to 210 °C, an unnotched Izod impact strength of 61-66 kJ/m 2 , and a notched impact of 10-11 kJ/m 2 . Table 3 (shown in FIG.3) shows the laser transparency data for laser transmittance at a wavelength of 980 nm on samples at a thickness of 1 millimeter when measured pursuant to DVS Regulation 2243. Further examples including high heat polycarbonate copolymer are presented in Table 4 (shown in FIG.4). The high heat polycarbonate is a PPPBP copolymer, specifically PPP-BP (N- phenylphenolphthaleinylbisphenol, 2,2-bis(4-hydro) – bisphenol A polycarbonate copolymer (33 mol % PPP-BP, molecular weight Mw of 21-25 kDa as determined by GPC using bisphenol A polycarbonate standards, para-cumylphenol (PCP) end-capped). Low intrinsic viscosity PBT refers to PBT 195 having a molecular weight of 66,000 g/mol using polystyrene standards. High intrinsic viscosity PBT refers to PBT 315 having a molecular weight of 115,000 g/mol using polystyrene standards. [00130] Laser transparency. Laser transparency measurements for samples E1 to E8, comparative examples 6 and 9 (CE), and E10 through E14 are presented in Table 5 (shown in FIG.5). As shown, CE6 and CE9 exhibited lower values at the end. These comparative examples included less high heat PC (less than 5 wt. %, or less than 3 wt. %) and had opposite ratios for the amount of high IV PBT demonstrating that the combination of high and low IV PBT was valuable and that the respective ratios of the high and low IV PBT influence performance. [00131] Physical properties. Physical properties are presented in Table 6 (shown in FIG.6). The differences in additive amounts were not believed to affect the crystallinity and warpage behavior of the compositions. [00132] Crystallinity. It is known in the art that there are a number of different ways to induce transparency in semi-crystalline materials. See, for example, Yunyin Lin, Emiliano Bilotti, Cees W.M. Bastiaansen, Ton Peijs. Transparent semi‐crystalline polymeric materials and their nanocomposites: A review. First published: 07 August 2020. The suppression of crystallinity is undesirable from a chemical resistance point of view. As such, the disclosed compositions proved very desirable as they do not compromise or diminish crystallinity of the polymer system. See, for example, Lin, Y., Bilotti E., Bastiaansen C., and Peijs T., “Transparent semi-crystalline polymeric materials and their nanocomposites: A review.” Polymer Engineering and Science, Vol.60(10), October 2020, pages 2351-2376. [00133] Crystallinity properties as evidenced by the enthalpy of fusion (joules per gram PBT; J/g PBT) were observed for the present compositions using DSC. The average enthalpy of fusion for standard PBT has been reported to be 52 J/g. See, for example, Furushima, Y., Kumazawa S., Umetsu, H., Toda A., Zhuravlev, E., Wurm A., and Schick, C. “Crystallization kinetics of poly(butylene terephthalate) and its talc composites.” Journal of Applied Polymer Science, Volume 134(16), April 20, 2017. This value is consistent with those observed herein shown below. FIG.7 shows the enthalpy of fusion as a function of the cooling rate (°C per minute) of first heating of PBT fraction for CE1, E5, and a Competitor (30 wt. % glass-filled PBT, advertised as configured for laser transparency). It was apparent that the crystallinity of the incorporated amount of PBT is similar for the low transparent 30% GF-PBT commercially available (CE1 and CE2) standard compared to the compound containing 10 wt.% of high heat polycarbonate (PPPBP-BPA copolymer). The Melting Enthalpy is corrected to represent the amount of actual PBT resin in the compound; viz.70% by weight for the reference compound, and 60% for the improved compound. As shown, the melting enthalpies of CE1 and E5 are comparable in that their values nearly overlap. This behavior signified that the crystallization of PBT was not hampered by the addition of a high heat polymer. Whereas for a competitor grade, reported as a 30% glass filled PBT, a diminished melting enthalpy was found; from which a reduction in PBT crystallinity was concluded. [00134] Table 7 (FIG.8) shows the observed enthalpies of crystallization of the PBT fraction for the samples. These were observed according to controlled or gradual cooling experiments at 1 °C/min, 5 °C/min, 10 °C/min, and 20 °C/min. FIG.9 shows the enthalpy of crystallization of the PBT fraction at the varying cooling rates. Values for the enthalpy of fusion of the injection molded parts were also obtained and are presented in Table 8 (shown in FIG.10). Rather than as part of a process of gradual or controlled cooling, these values were obtained on injection molded specimens of the compositions. The injection molded process is more consistent with typical manufacturing processes than the gradual cooling method. Table 8 also presents the percent of the value from the literature value for PBT enthalpy of fusion (namely, 52 J/g PBT). FIG.11 provides a graphical representation of the enthalpies observed. The Enthalpy of Fusion of the injection molded parts revealed that for the inventive samples, the PBT crystallinity level was retained; whereas for the competitor sample, a lowered crystallinity was observed. These values are scaled to the amount of PBT present in the composition. From the crystallization enthalpy of the same samples at different cooling speeds it appeared that there is agreement with the amount of crystallinity obtained when cooling is a controlled in a “slow” fashion. In this instance, the competitor sample regains typical PBT crystallinity. Warpage. Warpage behavior was observed for formulations as shown in Table 9 (FIG.12). Samples were evaluated at a threshold of 0.3 mm. Warpage was determined as follows: 60 mm x 60 mm x 1.0 mm plaques were injection molded using conventional parameters for 30% glass filled PBT compounds. After conditioning, the test coupons were placed on a flat surface from which the dimensional deviation of the parts’ surface plane could be determined by measuring the height difference between the plaque’s highest corner and the surface. Warpage values are presented in Table 10 (shown in FIG.13). When comparing the warpage of standard compounds having ‘Standard’ glass or ‘flat glass’ fiber, up to 75% - 95% of the plaque volume falls within a tolerance of 0.3 mm (for a 1.0 mm x 60 mm x 60 mm plaque). This suggested that by using a special type of glass filler, the aforementioned concerns related to warpage can be contained. When comparing #3 and #5 the incorporation of high-heat PC also improved the warpage further. [00135] Laser Transmission (molded plaques). Further, for molding plaques formed from the disclosed composition (which have improved laser transmission), a gradient over the longitudinal flow direction is observed. Without being bound to any particular theory, the gradient is attributed to different cooling rates of the material being in effect. The results provided herein are determined according to FIG.14 which elaborates on how laser transmission was measured on plaques formed from the disclosed compositions. Table 11 (shown in FIG.15) presents the transmission of samples of E5 as a function of thickness. FIG.16 provides a graphical representation of this data. The data illustrates laser transmission decreased as the thickness of the molded part increased. As such, the inventive E5 samples appeared more suitable for laser transmission for thinner parts. [00136] The above description is intended to be illustrative, and not restrictive. For example, the above-described examples (or one or more aspects thereof) may be used in combination with each other. Other aspects can be used, such as by one of ordinary skill in the art upon reviewing the above description. The Abstract is provided to allow the reader to quickly ascertain the nature of the technical disclosure. It is submitted with the understanding that it will not be used to interpret or limit the scope or meaning of the claims. Also, in the above Detailed Description, various features may be grouped together to streamline the disclosure. This should not be interpreted as intending that an unclaimed disclosed feature is essential to any claim. Rather, inventive subject matter may lie in less than all features of a particular disclosed aspect. Thus, the following claims are hereby incorporated into the Detailed Description as examples or aspects, with each claim standing on its own as a separate aspect, and it is contemplated that such aspects can be combined with each other in various combinations or permutations. The scope of the disclosure should be determined with reference to the appended claims, along with the full scope of equivalents to which such claims are entitled.
