The present invention relates to the field of overmolded composite structures and processes for making them, particularly it relates to the field of overmolded heat resistant polyamide composite structures. The overmolded composite structure comprises i) a first component having a surface, which surface has at least a portion made of a surface resin composition, and comprising a fibrous material selected from the group consisting of non-woven structures, textiles, fibrous battings and combinations thereof, said fibrous material being impregnated with a matrix resin composition, wherein said surface resin composition and said matrix resin composition are polyamide compositions comprising one or more polyamide resins, and one or more polyhydric alcohols having more than two hydroxyl groups and ii) a second component comprising an overmolding resin composition, wherein said second component is adhered to said first component over at least a portion of the surface of said first component. |
