The parts include a thermoplastic matrix.

The thermoplastic matrix can be pigmented or unpigmented.

An electric insulation material, comprising a thermoplastic matrix.

The discontinuous fibers are also embedded within a thermoplastic matrix, in such a way as to assist in bonding of the layers to achieve the desired strength.

The thermoplastic matrix essentially contains ethylene acrylic acid copolymer (EAA).

The tie layer comprises from 2 to 70% ceramic and/or metallic filler particles in a thermoplastic matrix.

The thermoplastic matrix is compatible with the thermoplastic substrate.

The thermoset matrix material is bonded to the thermoplastic matrix material at a bonded interface.

A composite includes a thermoplastic matrix material and a carbon nanotube (CNT)-infused fiber material dispersed through at least a portion of the thermoplastic matrix material.

The article of manufacture has a continuous thermoplastic matrix material and a thermoset matrix material comprised of oriented fibers.

The composite materials (36a, 36b) comprise fibers in a thermoplastic matrix material.

The viewer looking at the article sees a viewing surface of the thermoplastic matrix.

The thermoset matrix material is bonded to the thermoplastic matrix or metal material at a bonded interface.

The article of manufacture has a continuous thermoplastic matrix or a metal material and a thermoset matrix material comprised of oriented fibers.

The invention further relates to the use of at least one aluminosilicate as an antistatic agent in a thermoplastic matrix, wherein said matrix may include PEBA.
