Syndiotactic polyacrylonitrile (PAN) is a high-performance engineering thermoplastic characterized by a regular, alternating stereochemical structure that differs from typical atactic PAN. This ordered molecular arrangement imparts enhanced thermal stability and crystallinity compared to conventional PAN, making it suitable for demanding thermal and chemical environments. The material is primarily used in applications requiring superior heat resistance, chemical durability, and mechanical performance, particularly in aerospace composites, protective textiles, and industrial filtration systems where standard PAN grades are insufficient.
