Poly-para-phenylene-copolymer (PPP): A high-strength polymer with interesting mechanical and tribological properties

Abstract

This paper illustrates the high strength and modulus of a poly-para-phenylene-copolymer in comparison to other high-performance polymers. In particular, it outlines how its microhardness, fracture toughness, scratch resistance and specific wear rate against steel compare to corresponding values of polyether ether ketone.
