Abstract

The requirements of the aerospace, automotive, maritime, defence industries, have to the research and development of various composites and of these composites produced to meet the growing demands are thermoplastic composites. The thermoplastic composites are preferred in the aviation industry as they have high strength and light wight. With wight being one of the main factors influencing fuel efficiency, the introduction of thermoplastic composites has led to the reduction in weight in the aviation sector as well as the automotive sector which leads to greater fuel efficiency, reduced cost of operations along with being eco-friendly. PEEK is one of the thermoplastics along with other high performance thermoplastics which are being used in the production of parts in the aerospace and automotive industries.
