The Next Level of Performance in Electronics Through Modified Polymers

Abstract

Achieving high performance while reducing cost are competing forces in the electronics industry. With modification technology, higher performance can be achieved in existing polymers and common thermoplastics. The modified polymers can help achieve cost savings in design and use. Furthermore, these new technology modified polymer additives can enable the use of lower-cost plastics not suitable for demanding applications.
