(1) Notch Izod impact strength (unit: kgf cm / cm): A notch was formed on a 1/8 "Izod (IZOD) specimen by the evaluation method described in ASTM D256.

(2) Evaluation of impact resistance (unit: cm): An injection specimen having a size of 50 mm × 50 mm × 1 mm was prepared, and a 500 g weight was dropped on the specimen according to the Dupont drop measurement method. The height was measured and evaluated. The higher the measured height, the better the impact resistance.

(L 0 * , a 0 * , b 0 * ) was measured according to ASTM D1209, and the initial color was measured at 85 ° C, (L 1 * , a 1 * , b 1 * ) after a constant temperature and humidity test were measured in the same manner as in Example 1, To calculate the color change (? E). The smaller the color change, the better the color stability.

In the formula 1, ΔL * is a difference between L * values before and after the constant temperature and humidity test (L * 1 -L * 0) and, Δa * is the difference between (a 1 a * values before and after the constant temperature and humidity test * - a 0 * ) And Δb * is the difference (b 1 * - b 0 * ) of the b * value before and after the constant temperature and humidity test.

From the results shown in Table 1, it can be seen that the thermoplastic resin composition of the present invention has excellent impact resistance even after injection molding, and excellent color stability even after injection molding and constant temperature and humidity test.

On the other hand, in the case where no carbonate is used (Comparative Example 1) and the weight ratio of the additive to the laser direct structuring additive is out of the range of the present invention (Comparative Examples 2 and 3) The impact resistance and the color stability are deteriorated.

It will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes in form and details may be made therein without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as defined by the appended claims.
