This invention relates to a sheetlike wholly aromatic polyamide shaped article useful as electrical insulating materials excellent in corona resistance (corona durability) and in surface smoothness. The corona durability of said sheetlike shaped article is increased to 150 minutes or above by adding a nonionic polymer flocculant to an aqueous dispersion comprising 10 to 90% by weight of mica particles, preferably treated with a silane coupling agent and 90 to 10% by weight of a wholly aromatic polyamide stock (fibrids and fibers) in obtaining the sheetlike shaped article from the aqueous dispersion by wet shaping.

Sheetlike wholly aromatic polyamide shaped article and a method for

Crystalline wholly aromatic polyester, process for its production, resin

A shaped silicon carbide-based ceramic article having an improved mechanical strength is produced at a high efficiency by a process comprising the step of: forming an organic silicone polymer, for example, polycarbosilastyrene copolymer, into a predetermined shape, for example, a filament or film; doping the shaped polymer with a doping material consisting of at least one type of halogen, for example, bromine or iodine, in an amount of 0.01% to 150% based on the weight of the shaped polymer, to render the shaped polymer infusible; and pyrolyzing the infusible shaped polymer into a shaped SiC-based ceramic article at a temperature of 800.degree. C. to 1400.degree. C. in an inert gas atmosphere, optionally the halogen-doped shaped polymer being treated with a basic material, for example, ammonia, before the pyrolyzing step, to make the filament uniformly infusible.
