Polyamide 12 LFT: Benefits and applications
2024-01-16
What is PA12-LCF? PA12-LCF is a thermoplastic material, belonging to the nylon class. PA12-LCF is based on nylon 12, which has 12 carbon atoms in each polymer repeat unit. Nylon 12 is also known as polyamide 12 or PA12. It is a semi-crystalline material with a high melting point (180°C) and a low moisture absorption rate (0.5%). It is also resistant to chemicals, wear and impact. PA12-LCF is a mod...

Five major carbon fiber reinforced thermoplastic composites
2024-03-04
Polymers are one of the most commonly used and well-known materials of the 21st century. However, pure polymers are not sufficient for use in industries that require great strength and excellent heat resistance. As a result, thermoplastic composites are the preferred materials, and creating these new materials will require overcoming obstacles such as high energy consumption, expensive material co...

The application of composite materials in the field of electric vehicle battery housing
2024-05-11
Arguably one of the most important components in an electric vehicle (EV) is what keeps the battery dry, strong and safe in the event of a crash or fire. There are many terms used to describe this component: housing, casing, tray, box and enclosure; the main materials currently used for battery pack enclosures include steel, aluminum and plastic composites. Not surprisingly, a complete EV ba...
