For the past several years, thermoplastic pultrusion technology develop ment has concentrated on high-performance polymers, for example: polyetheretherketone (PEEK), polyetherimide (PEI), and polyphenylene sulfide (PPS). While these polymers are more likely to find use as engineering materials for aircraft and spacecraft, lower tem perature, lower cost fiber reinforced thermoplastics have a greater potential in the automo tive, industrial, recreational, and building supplies markets.
