Author Description

Many commercially important sub-categories exist under the polyarylether heading. Starting with polyphenylene ethers, the list includes poyarylethersulfones, polyaryletherketones, and polyetherimides. This handbook provides a database of these polymer families for researchers and plastic industry professionals who need a comprehensive reference on the structures and properties that have been achieved from this polymer class. Key features include tabular databases for the polyarylethers that have been synthesized, a collection of published procedures for the synthesis of polyarylethers, and a guide to their "engineering properties" as published by the manufacturers of the commercialized polyarylethers.
