Applications of LCP Materials

  • Chapter
Liquid Crystal Polymers: From Structures to Applications

Part of the book series: Polymer Liquid Crystal Series ((PLCS,volume 1))

  • 282 Accesses

Abstract

The industrial development of thermotropic liquid crystal polymer (LCP) materials can be traced from its theoretical origins, through the identification of useful compositions, to full commercialization. The future industrial challenge will be to define and develop applications which take advantage of the unique properties of these materials.
