Abstract
The disclosure relates to blended thermoplastic compositions, and in one aspect to blended thermoplastic compositions comprising a polycarbonate polymer and a high rubber graft acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene polymer blend, a styrene-acrylonitrile copolymer, and a laser direct structuring additive. These blended thermoplastic compositions are capable of being used in a laser direct structuring process. The present invention also relates to methods of manufacturing these compositions and articles that include these compositions.
