...e holder for the gas cartridge are designed as injection mouldings of engineering thermoplastics (e. g. DuPont's glass fibre reinforced Zytel polyamide). For the collar itself, the designer suggested a textile fabric reinforced with DuPont's Kevlar. Gerd Burchard and Tilman Walter, students at the Technical College for Design in Schwäbisch Gmünd/Germany, took third prize with their design of a fun piece of winter sports equipment. The "star turn" is an unusual sled made of engine...

...ion, in advanced development, is a fuel-system component of acetal and PE-HD. Soft-touch parts of acetal and a TPE are another possibility. In addition, DuPont has new Delrin KM, which contains chopped Kevlar aramid fiber. The abrasion-resistant compound is used in beverage conveyor belts that are self-lubricating and long lasting. Polyesters Run Faster Two interesting application developments with PBT will be highlighted by DuPont. One is auto headlamp reflectors that use a small degree of foa...

...e strength is reached using reinforcement with the cellulose fibre Cordenka as when using glass fibre reinforcement (80MPa). This is a surprising result in view of similar experiments [7] with a number of reinforcement fibres (including hemp, Kevlar and Nomex) since a maximum strength of 56MPa was found there (however, with a fibre content of 20%, another PP type and other coupling agents and processing techniques). Positive results are also obtained for the notched bar impact strength of the PP...

...er pressure to form a solid composite. The fuel tank, which is located directly behind the driver in the chassis, consists of two layers – rubber and nitrate butadiene. The outer layer is reinforced with Kevlar so that the tank cannot crack. The driver's seat is absolutely unique and therefore extremely valuable. If a Formula One driver is asked to drive his team colleague's car, he will take his seat with him. The seat shell is moulded to the shape of the driver on the basis of a body ...

A highly loadable slide block made from special low-friction Delrin 100KM (Fig. 4) silently and smoothly converts the rotary motion of the servo-motor into a linear motion along a circular path. The plastic is reinforced with Kevlar aramid fibers and thus both extremely low in wear and equal to high bending forces. Thanks to the low friction between this material and metals as well as other engineering polymers, as well as the high wear resistance of this material, the ad...
