LCP Introduction To Liquid Crystal Polymers

August 20, 2016

Liquid crystal polymers are a unique class of material that only relatively recently has gained widespread interest. Liquid crystals, the building blocks of liquid crystal polymers, blur the boundary between properties of an ordinary liquid and a solid. These special molecules have even been found in biological molecules including DNA and micelles. Yet, appreciation of their significance almost did not happen. But where did these unique molecules come from? What is their origin? Once thought to be an unusual state of matter, liquid crystal polymers are now thoroughly embedded in our daily lives. Today, these special polymers are of greatest interest and utility in the area of thermoplastics. From food containers to mechanical parts to monofilament fibers, liquid crystal polymers have proven to be highly versatile both in molecular design and properties.
