Abstract
This invention relates generally to a thermoplastic compositions and, more particularly, to compositions comprising a polymer matrix and comprising a filler composition. To that end, according to the aspects of the invention, a thermoplastic composition is disclosed that generally comprises a polymer matrix and at least one filler composition. The polymer matrix generally comprises at least one polycarbonate or polyamide. The filler composition generally comprises at least one laser direct structuring additive with a mean particle size of less than 1 μm and may additionally optionally comprise flame retardants, stabilizers and process aids.
