Description:Engineering and high performance polymers cover a wide spectrum of materials from well-established plastics such as nylon and ABS to developing polymers such as LCP and PEEK. They are valued, amongst other things, for their temperature resistance, strength, dimensional stability and chemical resistance in many demanding applications. Engineering and high performance polymers experienced high growth during the second half of the 1990s because of high demand for IT/telecom products and automotive components. Product and applications development and substitution of traditional materials were also key drivers of growth. However, during the last two years consumption fell dramatically due to the downturn in key end user markets and lower world economic activity. This report discusses the different types of engineering and high performance polymers, their key performance properties, applications and the trends in material developments. The principal polymer types covered are: polyamide, polybutylene terephthalate, polycarbonate, polymethyl methacrylate, acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene terpolymer, polyetheretherketone, polyoxymethylene, polyphenylene sulfide, polyetherimide, polyphenylene oxide, polysulfone and liquid crystal polymer. Five end use markets are analysed: automotive, electrical & electronics, industrial, consumer and 'other markets', including medical. Each end-use section includes a detailed examination of consumption trends by polymer type for major world regions, current applications, plus market and technology developments. The major world suppliers of engineering and high performance polymers, production capacities, geographic scope and corporate developments, are also examined in detail.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging. And by having access to our ebooks online or by storing it on your computer, you have convenient answers with Engineering and High Performance Plastics: Market Report. To get started finding Engineering and High Performance Plastics: Market Report, you are right to find our website which has a comprehensive collection of manuals listed.
