NEW ORGANOPLASTIC BASED ON PHENYLON C-2

Abstract

The thermophysical, physico-mechanical and tribological properties of organoplastics based on aromatic polyamide phenylone C-2 reinforced with aramid fiber Terlon were investigated. It was established that reinforcement of the polyamide binder with a fibrous filler in an amount of 15 wt.% made it possible to reduce the specific heat capacity of the polymer by 30–54% and to increase its thermal conductivity, accompanied by a simultaneous improvement in strength characteristics. It was shown that the developed organoplastic exhibits antifriction properties, maintaining a low coefficient of friction and high wear resistance under all investigated operating regimes, which makes it suitable for recommendation as a structural plastic for friction units of machines and mechanisms.
