Nano-reinforced polymer product range for medical devices

摘要

Nano-reinforced composites for minimally invasive devices, such as catheters, with reinforcement loadings up to 30% by weight is being offered by Foster. Nano-reinforced compounds with high filler loadings provide a substantial increase in physical properties of the base resin while maintaining processability in thin wall components. Nano-reinforced compounds incorporate ultra-fine nano platelets that interact directly with the polymer structure to increase flexural properties and improve rigidity of components.
