The large-scale construction and application of 5G communication networks will trigger a series of chain reactions: operators, smartphone manufacturers, wireless base station manufacturers, smart chip manufacturers, and high-performance material suppliers are all actively preparing for war.
Today, we understand what applications LFT long-fiber-reinforced composite materials can have in the 5G boom. Will the future be an opportunity or a challenge?
5G base stations mainly include: AAU shells, metal cavity filters, heat dissipation shells, antenna backplanes, 5G connectors and other structural components. Today we will introduce some applications of LFT long fiber reinforced composite materials in 5G base stations.
Application examples
5G base station radome, its role is to protect the antenna system, reduce the impact of the external environment and extend the life of the antenna, it needs to meet the requirements of low dielectric constant and resistance to complex environments:
The traditional PC plastics make the material become brittle and easy to wear for a long time. The material has poor impact resistance and poor chemical resistance. After modification, LFT long fiber reinforced PC material can have the comprehensive performance required for daily use of 5G radome:
In addition, LFT modified PP and PC materials can also be used in AAU cases of 5G base stations or communication base stations that require high frequency and electromagnetic shielding. As the main equipment of the 5G base station, the working temperature of the AAU housing should also be maintained in the range of -40°C to 55°C. The heat dissipation surface, surface flatness, product structural strength, and molding stability of the 5G base station equipment have high requirements. .
What are the applications of LFT long fiber reinforced composite materials?
LFT modified materials can be used in the shell of 5G base stations, equipment frames, brackets, filters, signal receivers, etc., and in mobile phones can be used in mobile phone shells, back covers, batteries, chips and other components.
What are the advantages of LFT long fiber reinforced composite materials?
It is difficult to achieve the requirements of 5G communication applications with a single nature of plastics. LFT modified plastics are one of the basic raw materials for 5G technology. Higher dimensional stability, excellent fatigue resistance and mechanical properties, high impact resistance, etc. are the biggest advantages.
