Abstract
The amazing scope of wartime applications accelerated the development and growth of polymers to meet the diverse needs of special materials in different fields of activity.[1, 2] Polyurethanes were developed in 1937, polyepoxides in 1947 and acryolonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS) terpolymer in 1948.[3,4] The discovery of the Zeigler-Natta catalyst in the 1950s brought about the development of linear polyethylene and stereoregular polypropylene.[4] Thereafter, the emergence of polyacetal, polyethylene terephthalate, polycarbonate, and many new copolymers, was noted. Commercial requirements paved the way for the development of highly temperature-resistant materials, which include polyphenylene oxides, polysulphones, polyimides, poly(amide-imide)s and polybenzimidazoles. These high performance polymers to which standard metal engineering equations can be applied are widely commercialized now. Polymers with properties of strength, heat-resistance or flame-resistance or chemical-resistance that far exceed those of more conventional polymers are termed “High Performance Polymers”. They are capable of sustaining high loads and stresses and are dimensionally stable.[5–7]
