This paper presents an experimental study of the infrared radiative properties of polyetherimide (PEI) thermoplastic films. The complex refractive index of the PEI films is obtained from transmittance measurements of thin film samples with thicknesses of 76 {micro}m (3 mil) and 127 {micro}m (5 mil). The transmittance measurements are performed using a Perkin-Elmer Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) Spectrometer. The results are to be used for thermoplastic and thermoplastic composite design/processing and space applications.
