A process for the preparation of a semifinished product including a PAEK-based resin and reinforcing fibers, including the stages of: a. preparation of a dispersion including a PAEK-based resin in the pulverulent form dispersed in an aqueous phase including a surfactant; b. bringing the reinforcing fibers into contact with said aqueous dispersion; c. drying the fibers impregnated with dispersion; and d. heating the impregnated fibers to a temperature sufficient for the melting of the resin, so as to form a semifinished product, wherein the surfactant is a thermally stable surfactant. Also, semifinished products capable of being obtained from the process and their use in the manufacture of composite materials.

Method for impregnating reinforcing fibres with polyaryletherketones and semi-products obtained therefrom

A method and apparatus for heat treating powders of semi-crystalline or crystallizable polymers. The apparatus includes a heating device for heating the powder to a temperature that is less than the melting temperature of a highest melting crystalline form of the powder, a vessel containing the powder that is exposed to heat produced by the heating device, and a mechanism for moving the vessel to cause the powder within the vessel to move with respect to the vessel.

Process and apparatus for heat treatment of a polymer powder

The invention is targeted mainly at a process for the preparation of a semifinished product comprising a PAEK-based resin and reinforcing fibers, comprising the stages of:

The invention concerns an adhesive composition consisting of at least one ethylene polymer or copolymer, said composition comprising at least one unsaturated carboxylic acid ester comonomer, and at least one functional comonomer, useful in an extrusion-coating process for application on a support or in an extrusion-lamination process for bonding together several supports of different type or not, in a wide temperature range. The invention is characterized in that said composition has an unsaturated carboxylic acid ester content higher than 5 wt % and in that the functional comonomer consists of at least one reactive function in the form of an acid group, anhydride or epoxy, whereof the proportion is less than 1 wt % of the composition. Said composition has advantageous uses, in particular for bonding together substrates selected among aluminum, paper or cardboard, cellophane, films based of polyethylene, polypropylene, polyamide, polyester, polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polyvinylidene chloride (PVDC), polyacrylonitrile (PAN) resins, oriented or not, metal-coated or not, physically or chemically treated or not and films coated with a thin inorganic barrier layer, such as polyester (PET, SiOx or AlOx).

Adhesive composition based on ethylene copolymers, useful for extrusion-coating and extrusion-lamination on a variety of supports

Process for densification of a poly(arylene ether ketone) (PAEK) powder or of a mixture of poly(arylene ether ketone) (PAEK) powders, the process being mixing the powder or the mixture of powders, in a mixer equipped with a rotary stirrer including at least one blade, for a period of between 30 minutes and 120 minutes, preferably of between 30 and 60 minutes, at a blade-tip speed of between 30 m/s and 70 m/s, preferably of between 40 and 50 m/s.

Process for densification of poly(arylene ether ketone) powders

A composition based on poly(ether ether ketone) (PEEK) including poly(ether ketone ketone) (PEKK), characterized in that the poly(ether ketone ketone) (PEKK) includes a mixture of terephthalic and isophthalic units, the percentage by weight of terephthalic units, with respect to the sum of the terephthalic and isophthalic units, being between 55 and 85%, limits included, and preferably between 55 and 70%, the composition including between 1 and 40%, limits included, preferably between 5 and 40% and more preferably still between 10 and 30% by weight of PEKK, with respect to the total weight of the composition.

Composition based on poly (arylene ether ketone) having improved properties

The present invention relates to a composition based on poly(ether ether ketone) (PEEK) comprising poly(ether ketone ketone) (PEKK), characterized in that the poly(ether ketone ketone) (PEKK) comprises a mixture of terephthalic and isophthalic units, the percentage by weight of terephthalic units, with respect to the sum of the terephthalic and isophthalic units, being between 55 and 85%, limits included, and preferably between 55 and 70%, the said composition comprising between 1 and 40%, limits included, preferably between 5 and 40% and more preferably still between 10 and 30% by weight of PEKK, with respect to the total weight of the composition.

Composition based on poly(arylene ether ketone) having improved properties

Described are structures comprising, successively: a first layer of high density polyethylene (HDPE), a layer of binder, a second layer of EVOH or of a mixture based on EVOH, optionally a third layer of polyamide (A) or of a mixture of polyamide (A) and polyolefin (B). Also described are devices for transferring or storing fluids and more particularly tubes, tanks, chutes, bottles and containers consisting of the above structure and in which the barrier layer (the second or the combination of the second and the third layer) is in direct contact with the fluid contained or transported.
