A method of making a resin composition comprises melt mixing a first
polymer comprising a polyamide powder or a polyester powder with a
fluoropolymer at a temperature below a softening temperature of the
fluoropolymer to form a first melt blend; fibrillating the fluoropolymer
in the first melt blend to form a fibrillar network in the first melt
blend; and melt mixing the first melt blend having the fibrillar network
with i) a poly(arylene ether) and a compatibilizing agent or ii) a
poly(arylene ether) and a reaction product of the poly(arylene) and a
compatibilizing agent.
