I. Overview of PPS LCF30 Composite Material

PPS LCF30 is a thermoplastic composite material reinforced and modified by adding 30% long carbon fibers as filling materials with polyphenylene sulfide as the base material. Among them, the filling mass percentage of carbon fibers is as high as 30%, which makes this material have excellent performance.

II. Performance Characteristics

1. High strength: The addition of long carbon fibers greatly increases the strength of the material, enabling it to withstand greater external forces.
2. High stiffness: The material has high stiffness and is not easily deformed, and can maintain a stable shape.
3. Good heat resistance: Polyphenylene sulfide itself has high heat resistance. Coupled with the reinforcement of carbon fibers, PPS LCF30 can maintain good performance in high-temperature environments.
4. Excellent corrosion resistance: It has strong resistance to acids, alkalis and other chemical substances and is suitable for various harsh working environments.
5. Low shrinkage rate: The shrinkage rate is low during the molding process, which can ensure the dimensional accuracy of the product.
6. Conductive performance: Since carbon fibers have good conductivity, PPS LCF30 also has certain conductive performance and can be applied in occasions that require conductivity.

III. Application Fields

PPS LCF30 composite material is widely used in fields such as automobiles, aerospace, and electronics. In the automotive field, it can be used to manufacture engine parts, transmission system parts, etc.; in the aerospace field, it can be used to manufacture aircraft structural parts, satellite parts, etc.; in the electronics field, it can be used to manufacture high-performance electronic packaging materials and electrical enclosures.

IV. Application Case

A well-known electronics manufacturer has been looking for a high-performance material to manufacture the shell of its new generation of smartphones. After extensive investigation and testing, they finally chose the PPS LCF30 composite material produced by Carbon (Xiamen) New Material.

The smartphone shell made of PPS LCF30% composite material has the following advantages:

First of all, high strength and high stiffness enable the shell to effectively protect the electronic components inside the phone. Even in the event of accidental drops or collisions, it can ensure the safety of the phone. According to tests, this shell can withstand dropping from a height of 1.5 meters to a hard ground without obvious damage.

Secondly, good heat resistance makes the phone not deform due to heating during long-term use or charging. Even in high-temperature environments, the shell can maintain stable performance.

Furthermore, excellent corrosion resistance ensures the service life of the shell in various complex environments. Whether it is in a humid environment or in contact with chemical substances, the shell can maintain a good appearance and performance.

In addition, the low shrinkage rate makes the dimensional accuracy of the shell very high, which can perfectly match the internal parts of the phone and improve the overall quality of the phone.

The conductive performance has an important application scenario in this phone. On the one hand, since the phone adopts wireless charging technology, the conductive performance of the PPS 30%LCF composite material can improve the charging efficiency and reduce the charging time. By optimizing the conductive path, the electromagnetic induction is more efficient, and the charging speed can be about 20% faster than that of mobile phones with traditional material shells.

On the other hand, the conductive performance can also effectively shield electromagnetic interference and improve the signal receiving ability of the mobile phone. In modern society, there are many surrounding electronic devices, and the problem of electromagnetic interference is becoming increasingly serious. The PPS LCF30 shell can provide good electromagnetic shielding for mobile phones to ensure clear call quality and stable network connection. According to actual tests, in the same electromagnetic environment, the signal strength of mobile phones using this shell is about 15% higher than that of ordinary mobile phones.

By adopting the PPS+LCF30 composite material produced by Carbon (Xiamen) New Material, this electronics manufacturer has successfully launched a high-performance and high-quality smartphone, which has been widely welcomed by the market.
