IMPROVED TRIBOLOGICAL PERFORMANCE OF THERMOPLASTIC COMPOSITES VIA THERMALLY CONDUCTIVE MATERIAL AND OTHER FILLERS AND A PROCESS FOR MAKING THE COMPOSITE AND MOLDED ARTICLES OF THE SAME

摘要

This thermoplastic composition and process for making articles of the same includes a thermoplastic matrix that includes a resin and filler materials wherein the filler materials includes a combination of fibers, at least one lubricant, and thermally conductive material, for improving tribological performance of thermoplastic materials. In the alternative, a thermally conductive lubricant may be substituted for the combination of the lubricant and the thermally conductive material.
