Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 11
Claim 1
Independent Claim
85 words
A coalescible and densifiable powder of poly(meta-phenylene isophthalamide) having good flow characteristics, a density of about from 1.0 to 1.3 g/cc when pressed into a preform and a density when sintered of at least about 1.24 g/cc and containing about from 1-75% by weight, based on the total weight of the composition, of a particulate additive, the additive having been present during the precipitation of the poly(meta-phenylene isophthalamide, and the precipitant having been maintained at a temperature of about from 10°-30° C. during the precipitation.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
85 words
A coalescible and densifiable powder of poly(meta-phenylene isophthalamide) having good flow characteristics, a density of about from 1.0 to 1.3 g/cc when pressed into a preform and a density when sintered of at least about 1.24 g/cc and containing about from 1-75% by weight, based on the total weight of the composition, of a particulate additive, the additive having been present during the precipitation of the poly(meta-phenylene isophthalamide, and the precipitant having been maintained at a temperature of about from 10°-30° C. during the precipitation.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
20 words
A composition of claim 1 wherein the particulate additive comprises about from 12 to 60% by weight of the composition.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
25 words
A composition of claim 1 wherein the particulate additive is selected from the group consisting of metals, metal oxides, graphite, molybdenum disulfide, polytetrafluoroethylene and clay.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
12 words
A composition of claim 3 wherein the additive consists essentially of graphite.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
13 words
A composition of claim 3 wherein the additive consists essentially of molybdenum disulfide.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
132 words
In the process for the preparation of coalescible and densifiable powder of poly(meta-phenylene isophthalamide) from a solution of about from 0.5 to 5.0 percent by weight, based upon the total weight of the solution, of poly(meta-phenylene isophthalamide) and a solvent selected from a group consisting of dimethylformamide and dimethylacetamide by bringing the solution into contact with water to form a slurry; agitating the slurry; and thereafter filtering the slurry to recover solid particles of poly(meta-phenylene isophthalamide); the improvement which comprises adding to the solution of poly(meta-phenylene isophthalamide) about from 1-75% of an additive, based on the combined weight of poly(meta-phenylene isophthalamide) and additive, prior to bringing the solution in contact with water to precipitate the polymer and wherein the water is maintained at a temperature of about from 10°-30° C. during precipitation.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
132 words

Claim 9
Dependent Claim
24 words
A process of claim 6 wherein the additive is selected from the group consisting of metals, metal oxides, graphite, molybdenum disulfide, polytetrafluoroethylene, and clay.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
12 words

Claim 11
Dependent Claim
13 words
A process of claim 7 wherein the additive consists essentially of molybdenum disulfide.
