PEEK continues to evolve with specialized formulations designed for specific aerospace applications. This includes bearing-grade variants and carbon-filled compositions that provide enhanced conductivity for electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding applications and additive manufacturing grades. These maintain the material's inherent flame resistance and chemical compatibility while also enabling complex geometric freedom through 3D printing technologies.

PPS has seen significant development in linear polymer variants that provide augmented mechanical properties and improved chemical resistance compared to traditional chemically branched formulations. These materials offer exceptional performance in chemically aggressive environments while maintaining dimensional precision.
