Glass bead reinforced thermoplastic

Materials used such as stifFer plastics can reduce hysteresis heating. Crystalline TPs for example (the popularly used acetal and nylon) can be stiffened by 25 to 50% with the addition of fillers and reinforcements. Others used include ABS, polycarbonates, polysulfones, phenylene oxides, polyurethanes, and thermoplastic polyesters. Additives, fillers, and reinforcements are used in plastics gears to meet different performance requirements (Chapter 1), Examples include glass fiber for added strength, and fibers, beads, and powders for reduced thermal expansion and improved dimensional stability. Other materials, such as molybdenum disulfide, polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), and silicones, may be added as lubricants to improve wear resistance. [Pg.232]
