Enhanced properties of liquid crystalline polymers increase usage in demanding applications

Liquid crystalline polymers (LCPs) are highly crystalline, inherently flame retardant, thermotropic (melt-orienting) thermoplastics. They are a unique class of thermoplastics that primarily contain benzene rings in the backbone with molecules that are stiff, rod like structures organized in large parallel arrays.

Reinforced plastic demand in USA will reach 2 million tons by 2011

Reinforced plastics, used as replacement of steel, aluminium and other metals-primarily because of their strength to weight ratio, are playing an important role in technical applications. Material substitution will remain the driving force behind advances in reinforced plastics. Higher performance requirements, combined with polymer type, reinforcement and processing improvements, will broaden applications and enhance competitiveness with steel and aluminium.

Development of stronger, more versatile joint replacement with new form of PE

The first total hip replacement using a joint socket lined with a novel material invention has been performed by surgeons at Massachusettes General Hospital (MGH). The material is an advanced first-generation highly cross-linked polyethylene and significantly reduces a serious complication of early hip implants. The new material may be applied in replacements for a wider variety of joints in a more diverse group of patients, even those demanding higher flexion and more mobility.
