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
