Polyethersulfone is a new high-temperature engineering thermoplastic with an outstanding long-term resistance to creep at temperatures up to 150°C. It is also capable of being used continuously under load at temperatures of up to about 180°C and, in some low-stress applications, up to 200°C. ... While the sulfone group confers high-temperature performance, the ether linkage contributes toward practical processing by allowing mobility of the polymer chain when in the melt phase. ... Polyethersulfone is especially resistant to acids, alkalies, oils, greases, and aliphatic hydrocarbons and alcohols. It is attacked by ketones, esters, and some halogenated and aromatic hydrocarbons. 3, record 1, English, - polyethersulfone

Une polysulfone domine largement les autres :[...] d’où le nom de polyéthers sulfones quelquefois donné à ces composés. La préparation la plus courante consiste à polycondenser le bisphénolate de sodium avec la p, p’-dichlorodiphénylsulfone. Les polysulfones sont des thermoplastiques possédant de très bonnes propriétés mécaniques(ténacité, rigidité, tenue au fluage), encore améliorées par additions de charges(fibres de verre ou de carbone), et peuvent être employées en continu entre-70 et 180 °C. Leurs résistances au choc, au feu, leurs propriétés électriques sont très bonnes. Elles ont une bonne résistance chimique, mais se dissolvent dans un certain nombre de solvants polaires. Les polysulfones sont mises en forme par injection et par extrusion. Les plaques peuvent être usinées, soudées, décorées, métallisées sous vide. 5, record 5, French, - polysulfone
