Abstract:
A composition for producing an antifriction structural material comprising a carborane-containing polymer binder and an inorganic heat resistant solid lubricant. The binder is a polyester, a polyamide, a polyimide, or a polyoxadiazole containing carborane units attached to the polymer chain thereof. A process for producing said antifriction structural material from said composition comprising subjecting the composition to compression moulding at temperatures of up to 400*C, followed by coking at temperatures ranging from 400* to 900*C. The antifriction material according to the present invention is intended for operation in dry-friction units within a wide temperature range.
