The range includes high-performance plastics with a temperature resistance up to 550°C and preceramic composites with a temperature resistance up to 1000°C. The synthetic and mineral character of the ...

Despite metal alloys dominating motor and gear applications, high-temperature plastics have established themselves in these areas, especially in the automotive sector, reports a new study completed by ...

High-performance polymers justify premium costs through superior combined-stress endurance in demanding electric vehicle ...

This figure illustrates the result of distributed temperature sensing using a perfluorinated graded-index plastic optical fiber (POF). The top diagram shows the structure of the sensing POF, including ...

In satellites, in jets, in automotive transmissions — the parts that Allegheny Performance Plastics molds for the roads, skies and outer space operate at the boundary of the harshest environments that ...

Creeps are characterized as time-dependent permanent deformations that occur under constant stress at elevated temperatures. The material composition determines the onset of creep. For example, steel ...
