Among all the different types of plastics on the market today, why would anyone choose polyaryletherketones (PAEK), polysulfones (PSU), liquid crystal polymers (LCP), polyetherimides (PEI) and polyphenylene sulfides (PPS) for their application?
An extreme case is polybenzimidazole (PBI), which has a stratospheric glass transition temperature of 427°C.
