Polyimides (PIs) are among the best-in-the-class plastics due to their exceptional thermal stability, chemical/radiation resistance, durability and mechanical strength. However, there is a trade-off between thermoplastic and thermosetting PIs. While thermosetting PIs demonstrate better physicomechanical properties, they suffer from poor processability, making them incompatible with additive manufacturing and injection moulding. On the other hand, thermoplastic PIs have superior processability, but inferior physicomechanical properties.
We developed our own iPIs, which combine the best properties of thermoplastic and thermosetting PIs. Compatible with additive manufacturing, our thermoplastic semi-crystalline iPIs are unique on the market.
