Liquid Crystal Polymers for Drug Delivery Devices from Vaccine Microneedles to Large Bolus Injectors

Abstract

LCP benefits for micro-replication, tight-tolerance and high productivity molding are opening doors to novel drug delivery devices from vaccine microneedles to large bolus injectors. Well-known in electronics, LCPs are being translated to millions of precision drug delivery devices with space savings thru sub-mm walls without sacrificing mechanical stiffness and strength.
