Stiff material with low thermal conductivity

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on finding a material that exhibits high stiffness, low thermal conductivity, temperature resistance up to 150°C, and good fracture behavior while remaining cost-effective. A polymer-matrix/carbon-fiber composite is suggested as a suitable option. Specifically, SABIC Innovative Plastics is recommended for exploring various engineering resins that may meet the outlined criteria. Delrin is also mentioned as a potential material for consideration.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of material properties such as stiffness and thermal conductivity
  • Familiarity with polymer-matrix composites and their applications
  • Knowledge of temperature resistance in engineering materials
  • Basic concepts of fracture behavior in materials
NEXT STEPS
  • Research SABIC Innovative Plastics' engineering resins for specific material properties
  • Investigate the characteristics and applications of Delrin
  • Explore polymer-matrix/carbon-fiber composites and their performance metrics
  • Study the impact of temperature on material properties and selection criteria
USEFUL FOR

Material scientists, engineers, and product designers seeking to select materials for applications requiring high stiffness and low thermal conductivity.

Hi,

i'm searching for a material with the following properties:

- high stiffness
- low thermal conductivity
- temperature resistance up to 150°C (not getting too soft at 150°C)
- no low friction coefficient (so no PTFE)
- good fracture behaviour (so no glass, ceramic)
- cheap

I've found some materials, but each of them doesn't meet at least one condition.

Does anyone know such a material?

A polymer-matrix/carbon-fiber composite would probably suit your needs.
 
check with SABIC Innovative Plastics, this website

http://www.sabic-ip.com/gep/en/Home/Home/home.html

they have many different engineering resins. Dig a little from this website page, you can search for properties and maybe find just what you need.
 
You can use Delrin
