Think of hospital equipment that is used for processes like sterilization. Any idea about the kind of polymers used in them as they need to withstand high temperature?
Some polymers are stable at very high temperatures. These polymers have strong force of attraction between the molecules. They also have special network structure. Some additives are added to some of these polymers which enhance their thermal resistance.
These polymers are usually known as high temperature polymers and can withstand a service temperature greater than 150 degrees. They can even withstand temperatures higher than 250 degrees for a short span. They are very expensive and hence are used in small amounts.
