which were superior to those for moldings based on polyimide-fullerene composi-
tions obtained by other methods.
4. The wear properties of moldings improved with increasing mass content of
fullerene. For example, when fullerene content was varied from 0.015 to
1.0 wt.%, the wear rate of moldings decreased by two orders of magnitude.
