Liquid Crystal Polymers Market
Liquid Crystal Polymers Market Value Share, Supply Demand, share and Value Chain 2017-2027
As frequencies tend to upsurge for the next generation of wireless applications, the integration techniques as well as materials in radio frequency systems are facing more challenging performance constraints. In addition, consumers are demanding repeatedly better performance with minimal surge in price. The new material technologies must be identified that can concurrently tackle these performance challenges, environmental variation, frequency, and cost. The commercial production of liquid crystal polymer( LCP) started in the mid-1980s, and they could not be injection molded at that time. Today, liquid crystal polymers can be melt processed on any conventional equipment into heavy as well as thin wall components at very fast speeds. Liquid crystal polymers are materials that have gained attention as a packaging material and potential high performance microwave substrate. They are available in market in liquid as well as solid forms.
Liquid crystal polymers are unique group of linear polymers which are inert, highly chemical resistant and unreactive. During the melting and injection molding, liquid crystal polymers show low viscosity and high flow to fill the intricate molds completely, making liquid crystal polymers a good choice for manufacturing of ultrathin and miniature parts with less than 0.1 mm thickness and short cycle times. Liquid crystal polymers possess various physical and chemical properties such as high stiffness, high flow, and high temperature resistance, which makes it suitable for their use in product miniaturization in the electrical & electronics industry and microinjection molding. Liquid crystal polymers are utilized in various applications focusing on electronic components that include smartphones, laptop, desktop, and tablets. Further, liquid crystal polymers are consumed for automotive and industrial applications as well as in
