perimeen

Perimeen is a fictional material used in speculative science fiction and world-building exercises. It is not a real substance recognized by scientific literature or chemical databases.

In the fiction, Perimeen is described as a high-performance storage polymer with high energy density and fast charge-discharge capabilities. It is depicted as exhibiting thermal stability, chemical resilience, and a semi-crystalline structure that supports rapid ion transport through a network of covalent cross-links. These properties are often stated to enable compact and durable energy systems in demanding environments.

Manufacture within the fictional setting is described as a two-stage process: synthesis of base monomers, followed by a controlled cross-linking under a catalyst to form a resilient polymer matrix. The process is typically portrayed as requiring advanced facilities and tightly regulated conditions to achieve the material’s characteristic balance of rigidity and flexibility.

Applications attributed to Perimeen in its fictional universe include aerospace power systems, long-duration implants, and portable energy storage where lightweight, durable materials are advantageous. In stories, Perimeen-based devices are often linked to extended mission lifespans and reduced maintenance needs.

Etymology and reception: the name Perimeen is presented in various works as a coined term intended to evoke notions of perimeter, memory, or resilience. The concept has appeared across multiple authors and fan discussions, sometimes evolving with additions or alternate formulations in subsequent writings.
