Abstract

A formed article according to one embodiment of the present disclosure includes a cylindrical base layer containing a polyimide as a main component, a sliding layer disposed on an inner circumferential surface side of the base layer and containing a polyether ether ketone as a main component, and an outermost layer disposed on an outer circumferential surface side of the base layer and containing a fluororesin as a main component.

Claims (22)

1. A formed article comprising:

a cylindrical base layer containing a polyimide as a main component;

a sliding layer disposed on an inner circumferential surface side of the base layer and containing a polyether ether ketone as a main component; and

an outermost layer disposed on an outer circumferential surface side of the base layer and containing a fluororesin as a main component.

2. The formed article according to claim 1 , wherein the sliding layer has an average thickness of 5 μm to 100 μm.

3. The formed article according to claim 1 or 2 , further comprising an elastic layer disposed on the outer circumferential surface side of the base layer and on an inner circumferential surface side of the outermost layer and containing rubber as a main component.

4. The formed article according to claim 1 , wherein a content of the polyimide in the base layer is 70% by volume to 100% by volume.

5. The formed article according to claim 1 , wherein a content of the polyimide in the base layer is 99.5% by volume to 100% by volume.

6. The formed article according to claim 1 , wherein a content of the polyether ether ketone in the sliding layer is 51% by volume to 100% by volume.

7. The formed article according to claim 1 , wherein a content of the polyether ether ketone in the sliding layer is 70% by volume to 100% by volume.

8. The formed article according to claim 1 , wherein a content of the fluororesin in the outermost layer is 50% by volume or more.

9. The formed article according to claim 3 , wherein a content of the rubber in the elastic layer is 70% by mass to 100% by mass.

10. The formed article according to claim 3 , wherein a content of the rubber in the elastic layer is 99% by mass to 100% by mass.

11. The formed article according to claim 1 , wherein the sliding layer has an average thickness of 10 μm to 50 μm.

12. The formed article according to claim 1 , wherein an inner circumferential surface of the sliding layer has an arithmetical mean roughness Ra of 1.4 μm to 3.3 μm.

13. The formed article according to claim 1 , wherein an inner circumferential surface of the sliding layer has a ten-point mean roughness Rz of 6.8 μm to 11.7 μm.

14. The formed article according to claim 1 , wherein the base layer contains a filler, and

the filler is at least one selected from a titanate compound, titanium oxide, a carbon nanotube, natural graphite, a carbon fiber, a glass fiber, and wollastonite.

15. The formed article according to claim 3 , wherein the elastic layer contains vulcanized rubber.

16. The formed article according to claim 1 , wherein the sliding layer constitutes an inner circumferential surface of the formed article.

17. The formed article according to claim 1 , wherein the outermost layer constitutes an outer circumferential surface of the formed article.

18. The formed article according to claim 1 , wherein the sliding layer constitutes an inner circumferential surface of the formed article, and the outermost layer constitutes an outer circumferential surface of the formed article.
