Hybrid Plastics Nanoreinforced® PM 1215 Polyimide

The homogeneous dispersion of POSS® cages within polyimide provides enhanced control over chain dynamics which increases the toughness and damage tolerance over conventional polyimide. The chemical composition of POSS® provides increased oxidation resistance by enabling the in-situ formation of a nanoscopically thin surface glass upon exposure to oxidants. Surface glassification enables both increase durability and bonding to the surface. Other benefits from POSS® incorporation include flame retardancy, lower CTE, and higher use temperature, while maintaining existing mechanicals.Information provided by Hybrid Plastics
