With the development of science and technology, the advent of new materials has brought great changes to various fields. As an important material, "Peek" (polyetherimide) has been widely used and promoted in aerospace, automotive, electronics, medical and other fields.

"Peek" is a high-performance engineering plastic known for its excellent heat resistance, chemical resistance, mechanical strength and insulation. Compared with other polymer materials, such as polyamide, polycarbonate, etc., it has higher temperature resistance and stronger mechanical strength. Moreover, "Peek" can also maintain its performance for a long time at high temperatures, and can withstand high temperatures of up to 300°C, so it is widely used in high temperature and corrosion resistant environments.

"Peek" material has many characteristics, such as: good thermal stability, good mechanical properties (high strength and high hardness), good fatigue resistance, good wear resistance and so on. At the same time, "Peek" material also has the characteristics of high chemical stability, only under extreme conditions will be decomposed and oxidized, with the advantages of not easy to aging.

Finally, due to its excellent properties, Peek materials have a wide range of applications. In the aerospace industry, as a structural material, it is often used in the manufacture of aircraft dining cars, seats, luggage racks, sound insulation and shock absorption materials, etc. In the electronics and electrical industry, Peek materials are widely used in semiconductor manufacturing equipment, generators, cable insulation materials, electronic components, etc. In the healthcare industry, Peek materials can be used in orthopedic and neurosurgery, dentistry, artificial hearts and intra-arterial catheters, and their material properties are more suitable for medical device manufacturing than other materials.

In general, Peek materials have excellent properties and a wide range of applications, which are of great significance for industries that require high physical and mechanical properties, temperature resistance, and corrosion resistance. At the same time, Peek materials also have great development potential, can provide contributions to more industries.
