Abstract:
A film comprises a phthalimidine copolycarbonate comprising first repeating units and second repeating units different from the first repeating units, wherein the first repeating units are phthalimidine carbonate units and the second repeating units comprise bisphenol carbonate units that are not the same as the first repeating phthalimidine carbonate units; and a second polycarbonate that is not a phthalimidine copolycarbonate; wherein the film has: a glass transmission temperature of greater than 170° C.; a dielectric constant at 1 kHz, 23° C. and 50% relative humidity of at least 3.0; a dissipation factor at 1 kHz, 23° C. and 50% relative humidity of 1% or less; and a breakdown strength of at least 800 Volt/micrometer.
Abstract:
A cartridge has a polymer case with a mouth, a neck having a neck thickness (Tn), a shoulder, and a body having a case thickness (Tc). The body has a flat portion comprising a minimum thickness, a pull thickness (Tp), and a dip comprising a dip thickness (Tb). The cartridge also includes an insert attached to the polymer case opposite the shoulder. The insert can a bulge engaging the dip to maintain the insert on the polymer case. Tb and Tn are related by 1.0≤Tb/Tn≤1.5 or just
Abstract:
A polyetherimide composition includes a polyetherimide and two or more of a residual metal content, a sulfate anion, a phosphate anion, a nitrite anion, a nitrate anion, or a combination including at least one of the foregoing, a residual solvent content, a phosphorus-containing stabilizer, and alkali metal halide, alkaline earth metal halide, alkali metal carbonate, or a combination including at least one of the foregoing, wherein each of the aforementioned components, when present, is included in the composition in a particular amount. The resulting polyetherimide composition exhibits two or more useful properties. The polyetherimide composition can optionally further be combined with a polymer different from the polyetherimide to provide a thermoplastic composition. Methods of making the polyetherimide composition and articles including the polyetherimide composition are also described.
Abstract:
Described herein is a composition comprising a polymer blend. The polymer blend comprises 92 to 99 weight percent of a polyphenylene ether sulfone and 1 to 8 weight percent of a polyalkylene terephthalate, wherein weight percent is based on the combined weight of the polyphenylene ether sulfone and polyalkylene terephthalate. The polymer blend has a transmittance greater than or equal to 60% and a haze less than or equal to 10% at a thickness of 3.2 millimeters, as determined according to ASTM D1003.
Abstract:
A high strength polymer-based cartridge having a polymer case with a first end having a mouth. A body can be formed below the mouth and having a propellant chamber and a longitudinal axis. A back end can be formed opposite the first end and formed below the body, with a first snap ridge comprising a first ridge angle at approximately at 90° to the longitudinal axis; and a second snap ridge, positioned closer to the first end than the first snap ridge, comprising a second ridge angle at approximately at 90° to the longitudinal axis. Further, an insert is configured to engage the back end.
