Stiff material with low thermal conductivity

AI Thread Summary
A user is seeking a material that exhibits high stiffness, low thermal conductivity, temperature resistance up to 150°C without softening, a non-low friction coefficient, good fracture behavior, and affordability. Suggestions include exploring polymer-matrix/carbon-fiber composites and checking SABIC Innovative Plastics for various engineering resins that may meet these criteria. Delrin is also mentioned as a potential option. The discussion emphasizes the challenge of finding a material that satisfies all specified requirements.

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
