Products:
[ Products / Processed Products ]
Keyword:
[ CFRTP ] [ chemical resistance ] [ dimensional stability ] [ heat resistance ] [ high-temperature rigidity ] [ low water absorption property ] [ Thermoplastic resin ]

Point of the Proposed Technology

Applications in a severe condition which requires heat resistance, low water absorption property, chemical resistance, mechanical properties at high-temperature, etc.

Effect(s)

Reduction of CF content
Thickness and weight reduction of products

Conventional Technology

■ Problems of conventional CFRTP matrix resin
 - PP: Heat resistance and mechanical properties
 - PA6 & PA66: Water absorption, low glass transition temperature, mechanical properties at high-temperature
 - PA12: Low glass transition temperature, mechanical properties at high-temperature
 - PPS: Brittleness
 - PEEK: High cost

New Technology

Technology Deployment and Cooperation

Development Stage Commercialization Completed (already delivered: no)
Intellectual Property Right Yes
Joint Researchers (their role)
Example of Application Products such as automotive parts and housing for computers which require low water absorption, dimensional stability, chemical resistance and mechanical properties at high temperature and humid condition rigidity.
