Abstract: A graphite fiber reinforced polymer matrix is layed up, cured, and thermally aged at about 750.degree. F. in the presence of an inert gas. The heat treatment improves the structural integrity and alters the electrical conductivity of the materials. In the preferred embodiment PMR-15 polyimides and Celion-6000 graphite fibers are used.

Abstract: The invention relates to thermoplastic polycarbonate molding compounds containing polycarbonates, copolymers, phosphorus compounds, tetrafluoroethylene polymers and, optionally, graft polymers and also further additives and other thermoplastics and also stabilizers, pigments, flow aids, mold release agents, antistatic agents and/or other flameproffing agents, characterized in that they contain as phosphorus compounds those corresponding to formula (I) ##STR1## and to a process for the production of the polycarbonate molding compounds.

Abstract: A flame-retardant synthetic resin composition comprising a thermoplastic resin selected from the group consisting of polyolefin, acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene copolymer and ethylene-ethyl acrylate copolymer resins as a base polymer and, incorporated therein (A) a polyester fiber cut into a length smaller than 10 mm and/or a polyester powder having a particle size smaller than 10 mesh and (B) a polyphosphoric acid compound having a higher water resistance, wherein the amount of the thermoplastic resin is 40 to 95% by weight, the total amount of the components (A) and (B) is 5 to 60% by weight and the component (A)/component (B) weight ratio is in the range of from 5/1 to 1/20.
