Abstract

See full text

A melt-extrudable polymer composition that contains a thermotropic liquid crystalline polymer, non-metallic filler, and metallic filler is provided. The composition is particularly well suited for forming cooking articles (e.g., cookware, bakeware, etc.). When incorporated into such an article, for instance, the metallic filler in polymer composition can be readily detected (e.g., by a metal detector), which in turn allows any foodstuffs prepared with the article to be tested for possible contamination. In addition, the specific nature of the liquid crystalline polymer and relative concentration of the non-metallic and metallic fillers are also selectively controlled so that the resulting composition can possess a relatively high degree of melt viscosity and/or melt strength, which allows the composition to better maintain its shape during melt extrusion.
