Development of Polyimides

Abstract

Due to their outstanding thermal stability, polyimides are now being carefully considered for use as matrix resins, adhesives, films and coatings. If successful, this unique class of polymers could greatly extend the present upper limit of 177°–205°C achievable in aerospace work with even higher temperatures and longer service life.
