Liquid crystalline polyesters are among the first industrially used liquid crystal polymers.
2.
Her early Cornell work on glassy polymer crazing remains very influential and was followed by insightful studies of shear deformation in liquid crystal polymers ( LCPs ).
3.
HTPAs can only compete with more expensive materials like LCPs ( liquid crystal polymer s ), if the flame retardant system keeps their properties on the high level required by the application.
4.
Among the high-performance polymers, fluoropolymers have 45 % market share ( main representatives : PTFE ), sulfur-containing aromatic polymers 20 % market share ( mainly PPS ), aromatic polyarylether and Polyketones 10 % market share ( mainly PEEK ) and liquid crystal polymers ( LCP ) 6 %.
