Polysulphone - Psul 10% Glass Fibre Reinforced

Sep 5 2001

Polymer Type

Thermoplastic

Advantages

Better tensile strength, flexural modulus, creep resistance, heat distortion temperature and mould shrinkage compared with unmodified polysulphone.

Disadvantages

Significant reduction in elongation at break and reduced notched izod impact strength compared with unmodified polysulphone. Inclusion of glass can cause anisotropy in mouldings.

How are Graphene Batteries Made?

The primary distinction between graphene-based batteries and solid-state batteries lies in the composition of either electrode. Although the cathode is commonly changed, carbon allotropes can also be employed in fabricating anodes.
