Advanced High Temperature Resistant Plastics Rapidly Replace Metal Motor and Gear Components

"One of the toughest applications for plastics in automotive motors is in
bearings, which have to be developed to withstand high temperatures,
pressures, wear, and chemical aggression, but at lower cost," explains Frost +
Sullivan Research Analyst Michael Valenti.
Through computer -aided-design (CAD) tools, polymers can now be custom-
designed to meet specifications, such as elevated temperatures and humidity,
in distinct applications.
Advances in High Temperature Plastics for Motors and Gears is part of the
Chemicals, Materials, and Foods subscription (D916).com
