  • Publication number: 20240132707
    Abstract: A fiber-reinforced polymer composition that contains a polymer matrix and a plurality of long reinforcing fibers distributed within the polymer matrix is provided. The polymer matrix contains a propylene impact copolymer having a first melt flow rate of from about 10 to about 100 grams per 10 minutes and a metallocene-catalyzed propylene homopolymer having a second melt flow rate of from about 10 to about 100 grams per 10 minutes, wherein the ratio of the second melt flow rate to the first melt flow rate is from about 0.1 to about 2. The composition exhibits a toluene equivalent volatile organic content of about 50 ?gC/g or less as determined in accordance with VDA 278:2002.
