A composition comprises greater than or equal to 20 weight percent glass
fiber, based on the total weight of the composition, and a compatibilized
blend of a poly(arylene ether) and an aliphatic-aromatic polyamide. The
polyamide is composed of dicarboxylic acid units comprising 60 to 100 mol
% of terephthalic acid units and diamine units comprising 60 to 100 mol %
of 1,9-nonanediamine units and/or 2-methyl-1,8-octanediamine units. The
polyamide has an amine end group content greater than 45 micromoles per
gram of polyamide. The composition has a heat distortion temperature
(HDT) greater than or equal to 230.degree. C. when measured according to
ASTM D 648 at 1.8 megapascals (MPa).
