I. Introduction to PEEK LCF20 Composite Material
(I) Composition
PEEK LCF20 is a thermoplastic composite material with polyetheretherketone serving as the base substance and 20% long carbon fiber acting as the filling material for reinforcement. This distinctive combination endows the material with both the high performance of PEEK and the strengthening characteristics of carbon fiber.
(II) Performance Characteristics
1. High strength and high rigidity: The addition of long carbon fiber notably augments the strength and rigidity of the material. Carbon fiber possesses extremely high tensile strength and elastic modulus, enabling PEEK+20%LCF to endure greater loads and be less likely to deform. For instance, under the same size conditions, components made of PEEK-LCF20 are several times stronger than traditional plastic components.
2. Excellent heat resistance: PEEK itself has outstanding heat resistance, and the presence of carbon fiber further enhances the stability of the material in high-temperature environments. PEEK LCF 20 can be utilized for a long time at temperatures up to 260°C, and can even withstand higher temperatures for a short period.
3. Low friction coefficient: This material has a low friction coefficient, which can reduce wear and energy loss. When employed in moving parts, PEEK LCF20 can prolong the service life of components and improve the operating efficiency of equipment.
4. Good corrosion resistance: It can resist the erosion of various chemical substances and is suitable for various harsh working environments.
5. Outstanding electrical insulation performance: PEEK LCF20 has good electrical insulation performance and can be used to fabricate high-performance insulating components in the field of electronics and electrical appliances.
(III) Application Fields
The PEEK 20%LCF composite material is widely applied in fields such as aerospace, automotive manufacturing, and electronics and electrical appliances. In the aerospace field, it can be used to manufacture aircraft parts and spacecraft structural components; in the automotive manufacturing field, it can be used to produce engine parts and transmission system parts; in the electronics and electrical appliances field, it can be used to make high-performance insulating components and circuit boards.
II. Application Case
The battery case of a new electric vehicle adopts PEEK LCF20 composite material in the field of automotive manufacturing. This electric vehicle has extremely high requirements for the strength, heat resistance, and light weight of the battery case.
The high strength and high rigidity of the 20%LCF PEEK composite material ensure that the battery case can protect the battery from damage under various complex road conditions. Its excellent heat resistance can withstand the high temperature generated during the charging and discharging process of the battery, improving the safety of the battery. Compared with traditional metal battery cases, the battery case made of PEEK+LCF20 composite material reduces the weight by 40%, greatly increasing the cruising range of the electric vehicle.
During the production process, Carbon (Xiamen) New Material provides high-quality PEEK LCF20% composite material. Their professional technical team works closely with automotive manufacturers to customize and optimize materials according to the specific requirements of electric vehicles. After strict testing and verification, the composite battery case shows excellent performance.
In terms of specific data, the battery case made of PEEK LCF20 composite material can withstand an impact force of up to 800 Newtons, and its own weight is only 60% of that of traditional metal battery cases. In the heat resistance test, the material can still maintain good performance after continuous operation at 200°C for 1000 hours. In addition, the low friction coefficient makes the installation and removal of the battery case more convenient and fast, improving production efficiency.

Influence of LCF on PEEK LCF20
The carbon fiber has an important influence on PEEK LCF20. On the one hand, it greatly enhances the strength and rigidity of the material, enabling PEEK LCF20 to withstand greater loads and be less likely to deform. On the other hand, it enhances the heat resistance of the material, making it more stable in high-temperature environments. At the same time, it reduces the friction coefficient, reduces wear and energy loss, prolongs the service life of components and improves the operating efficiency of equipment.
