CONT

Bismaleimide Resins. These addition-type polyimides or maleimide-based polyimides are used in high performance structural composites requiring higher temperature use and increased toughness.

CONT

Ainsi, le bouclier thermique est constitué d'une partie centrale en carbone et résine bismaleimide (BMI) revêtue d'un ablatif léger et d'une partie externe (le décélérateur aérodynamique) en carbone-carbure de silicium (C-SiC) résistant aux températures élevées.

Record 2 1999-03-16

English

Subject field(s)
  • Plastic Materials
DEF

Any of a class of polymeric synthetic resins resistant to high temperatures, wear, and corrosion and used esp. for coatings and films.

CONT

These materials [polyimides], which can be used in various forms including moldings, laminates, films, coatings, and adhesives, have high mechanical properties, wear resistance, chemical and radiation inertness, and excellent dielectric properties over a broad temperature range.... Chemical structures :Polyimides are heterocyclic polymers, having a noncarbon atom in one of the rings in the molecular chains. The atom is nitrogen and it is in the imide ring.... There are two basic types of polyimides :(1) condensation resins and(2) addition resins. The condensation polyimides are based on a reaction of an aromatic diamine with an aromatic dianhydride.... The addition polyimides are based on short, preimidized polymer-chain segments similar to those comprising condensation polyimides.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Matières plastiques
DEF

Nom générique des polymères possédant dans leurs chaînes des fonctions imide. Ils sont utilisés dans l'aéronautique et l'automobile. Ils sont à la base de nombreux matériaux composites (stratifiés, etc.) usinables et collables, utilisés en électronique, aéronautique et électrotechnique.

CONT

Les polyimides font partie des polymères techniques à hautes performances, dits "thermostables", se signalant par un ensemble remarquable de caractéristiques: haute résistance mécanique jusqu'à 250°C, stabilité dimensionnelle à température élevée, tenue au feu, aux radiations, résistance aux solvants et excellentes propriétés électriques.

CONT

On rencontre deux types de polyimides [...] 1. Les polyimides de condensation (type VESPEL de Dupont de Nemours). [...] 2. Les polyimides d'addition (polyaminobismaléimides) (PABM type KINEL, KERIMID de Rhone-Poulenc).

CONT

Les polyimides peuvent se rencontrer sous plusieurs formes: Résines pour peinture et adhésifs [...] Films pour isolation ou tenue à chaud [...] Poudres à mouler [...]
