A method may produce a heat-resistant resin composite excellent in heat resistance and bending properties. This heat-resistant resin composite is constituted of a matrix resin and reinforcing fibers dispersed in the matrix resin. The matrix resin is constituted of a heat-resistant thermoplastic polymer having a glass transition temperature of 100° C. or higher, and a polyester-based polymer comprising a terephthalic acid unit (A) and an isophthalic acid unit (B) at a copolymerization proportion (molar ratio) of (A)/(B)=100/0 to 40/60. The proportion of the heat-resistant thermoplastic polymer in the composite is 30 to 80 wt %.

Small diameter poly(phenylene ether) fibers can be consistently formed from a composition comprising specific amounts of a poly(phenylene ether), a processing aid, and optionally a poly(alkenyl aromatic). The processing aid can be LLDPE, a petroleum resin, or combinations thereof. The processing aid can optionally further comprise a phosphite or phosphonate. Flame retardants are minimized or excluded from the composition. The fibers can be melt spun without entanglement or breakage, and this improved processability enables small diameter fibers to be formed. The resulting fibers can be used in reinforcing structures for printed circuit boards.
