    Abstract: A method is disclosed for the manufacture of a powdered polyimide extrudate for use as a purge media. The method includes feeding a polyimide film material into an extruder having a first zone that provides heating and a subsequent second zone that provides endothermic shearing. In one embodiment, the resulting purge media comprises a sheared polyimide powder having an average particle size in a range of about 5 to 100 microns (or any sub-range thereof). The purge media can comprises up to 35 weight percent other additives.

  • Publication number: 20130029158
    Abstract: Disclosed is a process for producing an epitaxial single-crystal silicon carbide substrate by epitaxially growing a silicon carbide film on a single-crystal silicon carbide substrate by chemical vapor deposition. The step of crystal growth in the process comprises a main crystal growth step, which mainly occupies the period of epitaxial growth, and a secondary crystal growth step, in which the growth temperature is switched between a set growth temperature (T0) and a set growth temperature (T2) which are respectively lower and higher than a growth temperature (T1) used in the main crystal growth step. The basal plane dislocations of the single-crystal silicon carbide substrate are inhibited from being transferred to the epitaxial film. Thus, a high-quality epitaxial film is formed.
