Electrical/electronic industry

The work on colour centres outlined in Section 3.2.3.1, much of it in the 1930s, and its consequences for understanding electrically charged defects in insulating and semiconducting crystalline materials, helped to stimulate ceramic researches in the electrical/electronic industry. The subject is enormous and here there is space only for a cursory outline of what has happened, most of it in the last 80 years. 

The electrical electronics industry is subject to many constraints ... 

To progress in the electrical electronics industry, plastics must improve their performance characteristics, ease of processing, productivity and recycling, for example ... 

Thermoplastics are predominant among the plastics used in the electrical electronics industry with a market share greater than 75%, versus 16% for thermosets and 8% for all composites. 

Figure 2.31 displays the market shares of the most commonly used commodity and engineering thermoplastics in the electrical electronics industry. Only polyamides are identified among the engineering thermoplastics. 

Wires and cables are universal and essential components of the electrical electronics industry. Well known from simple building and automotive wiring, their complexity for energy cables is generally unsuspected. 

They are used in the appliance, automotive, construction, consumer goods, packaging, electrical electronics, industrial, food and medical sectors for various moulded and extruded technical goods, soft-touch overmoulding, grips. .. 

Principal uses for this material are found in the electrical/electronics industries automotive parts, such as alternator armatures and pressure sensors optical uses, such as safety goggles and garden vehicles, such as mower decks and shrouds, tractor hoods, grills, and fenders. 

PC/SMA heat resistance, high stiffness, and impact resistance. Used in automotive, electrical/ electronic, industrial and consumer (lawn and garden). 

MAJOR APPLICATIONS Automotive, business machine, and electrical/electronics industries. PPO is mainly used to manufacture blends with high-impact polystyrene (HIPS). PPO/nylon, PPO/PBT, and PPO/polyolefin blends are also available on the mcuket. PPO based materials rank first in terms of total consumption among blends based on engineering resins such as nylon, polycarbonate (PC), polyacetal, and reinforced terephthalate polyesters (PET and PBT).( ... 

The production of the chemical Industry in Japan has been very positive, showing a consecutive growth over the last 9 years since 1982. The chemical industry represented 1,4% of the total shipment value of the whole Japanese manufacturing industries in 1989. This was ranked at the 4th position after the three big sectors, namely, electric/electronic industries 17,1%), transportation industries (14.1%), and machinery industries (10.0%). 

Today, the U.S. structural ceramics market is estimated at over 3500 million as compared with 20 million in the year 1974, 350 million in 1990, and 865 million in 1995. The application of these materials can be found in tool manufacturing, automotive, aerospace, electrical, electronics industries, communications (fiber optics), medicine, and so on (http //www.acers.org/news/factsheets.asp). 

BMI provides a continuous service temperature of 177°C in a moist environment. These are often used in high-temperature laminates and as adhesives in the electrical/ electronics industries. Major suppliers of bismaleimide resins are Rhone Poulenc Inc. Kerimid) and Technochemie GmbH, BTL Specialty Resins, Ciba-Giegy, and Mitsubishi Petrochemical Co. 

Epoxies are one of the most versatile and widely used thermosetting resins, especially in the electrical/electronic industries. This is primarily because of the wide variety of formulations possible and the ease with which these formulations can be made and utilized with minimal equipment requirements. Formulations range from flexible to rigid in the cured state and from thin liquids to thick pastes and molding powders in the uncured state. Conversion from uncured to cured state is made by use of hardeners, heat, or both. 

Mylar Mylar is a tradename for a polyterephthalate film produced by Du Pont. It is manufactured from the polyester of ethylene glycol and terephthalic acid (dimethyl terephathalate). Mylar films are commonly used in the electrical/ electronic industries for their excellent electrical properties and also as high-strength film for structural applications. 

Another PPS success story in the electrical/electronics industry concerns use of PPS in televisions.26 Here requirements included high temperature resistance, precision moldability, good arc tracking resistance, and good dimensional stability. Again, numerous materials were tested, but a fiberglass-reinforced PPS compound proved to be the material of choice for a series of pin cushion corrector coils used in color television sets.

PBT grades are available, as well as a whole spectrum of PBT blends, with numerous applications. In general, the properties of pure polymers do not always meet the demands for the application of the customer. Often, the bulk properties have to be modified to make polymer suitable for some specific application. Nowadays, a broad range of pure and modified PBT grades are available, as well as a whole spectrum of PBT blends that are widely applied in the automotive and electric/electronic industries [9-13]. 

Automotive and electrical/electronics industries are the largest markets for engineering polymers which include Crastin PBT polyesters, Hytrel thermoplastic polyester elastomers, Rynite PET, high-temperature Thermx PCT (polycyclohexylene dimethyl terephthalate), Tribon composites and Tynex filaments, Vespel polyimide parts and shapes, Zenite liquid crystal polymers and Zytel PA resins. In July 2005, DuPont launched the DuPont Vespel SP-202 composition whose properties include the prevention of static charge build-up. Other products include Delrin acetal resins, engineering thermoplastic vulcanisates. Minion mineral reinforced PA resins and Teflon PTFE fluoropolymer resins. 

It is expected that the total production volume of Lucky s engineering plastics will increase rapidly, since the automotive industry and electrical/electronic industries are growing fast in Korea. The Lucky Co. is developing new, higher quality polymer products, through strong investment and extensive efforts in the area of technology development. 

Pis are finding increased use in aerospace and automotive applications as structural adhesives due to their excellent mechanical property retention at elevated temperatures. Another major area of PI usage is the electrics/electronics industry. They are used as thermal and electrical insulators due to their excellent hard radiation resistance and good insulation...
