POLYCARBONATE COMPOUNDS SOLUTIONS FOR ELECTRICAL APPLICATIONS

摘要

Unfilled polycarbonate is a tough, transparent engineering thermoplastic which offers very high impact strength and high modulus of elasticity. It also has a high heat deflection temperature and absorbs very little moisture. These properties, plus good low frequency and high voltage insulating characteristics, make polycarbonate a prime material for electrical and electronic components. Its strength, impact resistance and transparency (unfilled grades only) also make it an ideal material for certain transparent structural applications. Nicolaas Hermans, Peter Jackson and Nicolas Joly from Styron Europe explain.
