Sumitomo Chemical develops new liquid crystal polymer

On August 26, according to foreign media reports, with the increasing interest in products such as the Internet of Things (IoT), self-driving cars, 5G cellular networks, smart cities and video streaming services, more and more people can use .

To ensure that data can be transmitted at high quality and at high speed, the components used for interconnection in all electronic equipment need to be carefully inspected to minimize signal loss/attenuation, distortion and interference, so manufacturers need to upgrade the performance of high-speed connectors, And Japan's Sumitomo Chemical .

Device miniaturization (connector miniaturization and ultra-miniaturization while requiring higher mechanical performance on thinner walls), coupled with the use of higher-density interconnect devices, reduces printed circuit board (PCB) footprint space, and added complexi.

Therefore, Sumitomo Chemical has developed three new SumikaSuperE6205L compounds designed for high-speed connectors, which can be used in backplanes and connectors for automotive infotainment syste.

LCP is a polymer that enables the production of thermoplastic parts with unique processing characteristics and very high performance, allowing for weight or wall reduction due to high heat resistance, good flow materials, often replacing metals, ceramics and other plasti.
