This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest was declined. Some or all of the changes weren't supported by neutral, independent, reliable sources. Consider re-submitting with content based on media, books and scholarly works.

To improve the Polyphenylsulfone stub, I request the following changes:

1) Inserting a general overview paragraph (shown in bold below),

Polyphenylsulfone Overview

Polyphenylsulfone (PPSU) is a high performance thermoplastic from the sulfone family. Sulfone polymers are amorphous resins that combine excellent thermal stability, high strength and toughness, excellent hydrolytic stability, transparency, and good resistance to environmental stress cracking when compared to other plastics.

Of the sulfone materials, polyphenylsulfone offers optimized thermal capability, inherent flame resistance, highest chemical resistance, and unique mechanical properties, particularly exceptional resistance to impact.

2) healthcare be added to the typical applications (shown in bold), the word "virtually" be struck related to the material's melting (it has no melting point as an amorphous polymer) - shown in bold, correct the typographical error for the registered trademark Radel (shown in bold), and correct the spelling error for polyphenylsulfone (shown in bold).

Polyphenylsulfone (PPSF or PPSU) is a type of moldable plastic often used in rapid prototyping and rapid manufacturing (direct digital manufacturing) applications. Polyphenylsulfone is a heat and chemical-resistant material. It is typically used in automotive, aerospace, healthcare, and plumbing applications. Polyphenylsulfone has virtually no melting point, due to its amorphous nature,[1] and offers tensile strength up to 55 MPa (8000 psi). Its commercial name is Radel®. In plumbing applications, polyphenylsulfone fittings have been found to sometimes form cracks prematurely or to experience failure when improperly installed using non-manufacturer approved installation methods or systems.[2]

This is my first attempt at requesting an edit. My company specializes in more than 40 different specialty polymer chemistries -- so it is difficult for me to edit due to COI concerns -- but many of the polymer pages are stubs with very limited or misleading information ... so I am trying to learn how to properly contribute to their improvement in an objective way.

Very nice of you to disclose so much, we really welcome industrial contributions, so long as you can steer away from marketing angle. A general challenge in Wiki-polymers is the absence of input from folks like you. We are not looking for high powered stuff, just an overview and comments on real applications. If you have a book or a review to cite, that would be great. --Smokefoot (talk) 04:31, 6 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed, it would be best to have an outside citation supporting the overview you gave above, so I'm declining this request for now. Altamel (talk) 06:11, 22 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
