Abstract

PBI originally developed by NASA, is currently used in high-temperature filtration fabrics. Thermal protective clothing and as an alternative to asbestos. The polymer also shows promise in other configurations such as films, foams and adhesives. This article considers the properties of PBI, the most useful types of blends available, and various ways of dyeing PBI fibre.
