Mittal V. High Performance Polymers and Engineering Plastics

Wiley, 2011. — 454 P.During the last years, several new families of high performance polymers and engineering plastics have been reported which find enhanced application potential in the more challenging areas like aerospace, defense, energy, electronics, automotives etc. as compared to the commodity or conventional polymers. Such polymers provide improved set of properties like higher service-temperatures at extreme conditions and good mechanical strength, dimensional stability, thermal degradation resistance, environmental stability, gas barrier, solvent resistance, electrical properties etc. even at elevated temperatures. Various categories of high performance polymers include poly(phenylene ether), polysulfones, poly(aryl ether ketone), poly(oxadiazole), poly(imide), poly(ether amide), poly(ether amide imide), poly(naphthalene), liquid crystalline polymers and poly(amide imide) etc. Owing to the large number of such high performance polymers with accurately designable struc ture property correlations developed and reported in the recent years, the book aims to focus on up-to-date synthesis details, properties and applications for such systems in order to stress the high potential of these engineering polymers.High Performance Polymers: An Overview
