Liquid Crystal Polymers are witnessing wide range of applications as Industry Leaders in Japan Develop Novel LCP Products
Liquid crystal polymers (LCPs) are a category of aromatic polymers that are extremely inert and unreactive and also highly resistant to fire. LCPs are mainly useful in mechanical and electrical parts, food containers, and also other applications where chemical inertness is necessary. They are also used in plug connectors, transmission system components, lamp sockets, pump sockets, and sunlight sensors. The most recent technology to emerge as one of the most sought after polymeric materials is the LCD or Liquid Crystal Display. This technology is now used in almost every commercial production process from the initial manufacturing stage right through to the final display unit of an electronic display. Liquid crystal polymers are currently used in the construction industry and are widely available as a wide range of goods. Polypropylene, polystyrene, and polyimide are popular building material which use these compounds to make various products including insulation, plastic, insulati...
