Abstract:
A resin composition [composition (C)] comprising: from 40 to 95 % by volume (% v) of at least one aromatic polyimide [polymer (PI)], from 0.1 to 15 % by volume (% v) of at least one compound having the general formula A n X m [compound (A n X m )], wherein each A is independently selected from a group consisting of a metal atom (M) which is selected from the group consisting of Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Mo, Ag, Cd, Sn, Pt, Au, Hg, Pb and Tl and a semimetal atom (SM) which is selected from the group consisting of As, Sb and Bi; wherein each X is independently selected from a group consisting of As, Sb, S, Se and Te; with the proviso that when A is As or Sb then X is different from A; and wherein n and m equal or different from each other, are independently 1, 2, 3 and 4, from 0.1 to 30 % by volume (% v) of at least one carbon fiber, from 0 to 15 % by volume (% v) of at least one filler selected from the group consisting of TiO 2 , ZrO 2 SiO 2 or mixtures thereof, and wherein all % are based on the total volume of the composition (C).
Abstract:
Polymeric bearing articles for use in ultra-high pressure and velocity environments A polymeric thrust bearing is provided for an ultra-high PV environment. The polymeric thrust bearing includes an annular bearing body having an inner perimeter and an outer perimeter, and a plurality of lubricant channels extending across the annular bearing body from the inner perimeter to the outer perimeter. The annular bearing body comprises a polymer composition comprising a polymer having typically a glass transition temperature of at least about 140°C, such as an aromatic polyimide or a poly(aryl ether ketone), and at least one friction and wear additive. The polymeric thrust bearing is configured to withstand a velocity and a pressure in a lubricated environment in which the product of the velocity and the pressure is about 1,100,000 psi-fpm (23540kg/cm 2 x m/min) or more.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a composition (C) comprising a polymer blend including a polyarylether sulfone polymer and a polyarylene sulfidepolymer and to an article including said composition.
Abstract:
A polymer composition [composition (C)] comprising: (a) a polyarylene ether ketone (PAEK-1) comprising recurring units deriving from the incorporation of 1,4:3,6-dianhydrohexitols; (b) a poly(biphenyl ether) sulfone (PPSU-1 ) comprising repeating units of formula (I) and/or (c) a polyetherimide (PEI-1) comprising repeating units of formula (II) wherein Ar* and Ar*' are as defined in the specification are herein disclosed. (PAEK-1) and (PPSU-1) and/or (PEI-1) are completely miscible and give rise to compositions that are transparent and possess high strength and stiffness and that are suitable for the manufacture of a variety of shaped articles.
