Abstract
Polyetherimide is a new resin introduced in 1982 by General Electric Company under the Tradename ULTEMĀ®. An amorphous, high performance engineering thermoplastic polyetherimide is based on the regular repeating units of ether and imide linkages. The aromatic imide units provide the high performance properties while the flexible ether linkages allow for good melt flow characteristics and easy processability.
