Abstract: The disclosure generally relates to polyimide compositions and in particular, compositions having a filler. The polyimide compositions may be made of polyimide resins having titanium dioxide particle fillers. The use of titanium dioxide-filled polyimide resins increase the mechanical performance of articles made from the aforementioned. Articles include test sockets and in particular, a test socket housing. The test socket housing may be made of the aforementioned polyimide resins having titanium dioxide particle fillers. The use of titanium dioxide-filled polyimide resins increase the mechanical performance characteristics of the test socket housing resulting in accurate and reliable test socket readings.

Abstract: Polyimide resin compositions that contain an end-capped rigid aromatic polyimide, graphite and, optionally, a filler selected from sepiolite, attapulgite, kaolinite, or a mixture thereof, are found to exhibit low wear at high temperatures. Such compositions are especially useful in molded articles that are exposed to wear conditions at high temperatures such as aircraft engine parts.

Abstract: Polyimide resin compositions that contain an aromatic polyimide, graphite, and acid-washed kaolinite are found to exhibit high thermal oxidative stability. Such compositions are especially useful in molded articles that are exposed to high temperatures, such as bushings, bearings, and seal rings that are used in aerospace, transportation, and materials handling applications.
