The era of 5G communication networks has arrived, and this new technology product has triggered a series of chain reactions: operators, smartphone manufacturers, wireless base station manufacturers, smart chip manufacturers, and high-performance material suppliers, among others, are actively preparing for the battle.

Today we understand what applications LFT long-fiber reinforced composites can have under the 5G boom, and whether the future is an opportunity or a challenge?

5G base station mainly has: AAU shell, metal cavity filter, heat dissipation shell, antenna base plate, 5G connectors and other structural components, today we will introduce some examples of the use of LFT long fiber reinforced composite materials in 5G base station


Application examples

5G base station antenna cover, its role is to protect the antenna system, reduce the impact of the external environment and extend the life of the antenna, need to meet the requirements of low dielectric coefficient, resistance to complex environments:

The traditional PC plastic will become brittle and easy to lose after a long time, poor impact resistance and chemical resistance. And LFT long fiber reinforced PC material through modification, can have the comprehensive performance required to meet the daily use of 5G radome::

In addition, LFT modified PP and PC materials can also be used in the AAU shell of 5G base stations, or high frequency, electromagnetic shielding needs of communication base stations and other occasions. As the main equipment of 5G base station, the working temperature of AAU shell should be kept between -40℃~55℃, and the heat dissipation surface, surface flatness, structural strength of products, molding stability of 5G base station equipment have high requirements.



What are the other applications of LFT long fiber reinforced composites?

LFT modified materials can be used in the shell of 5G base station, equipment frame, bracket, filter, signal receiver, etc. And in cell phones can be used in cell phone shell, back cover, battery, chip and other components.

What are the advantages of LFT long fiber reinforced composites?

The single nature of the plastic is difficult to achieve the requirements of 5G communication applications, LFT modified plastic is one of the basic raw materials for the realization of 5G technology. High dimensional stability, excellent fatigue resistance and mechanical properties, high impact resistance and other properties are the biggest advantages.
