These polymers, together with Avient’s application design and prototyping services, allow for faster prototyping and shorter lead times compared to ceramics traditionally used in telecom applications. With tremendous growth forecast for 5G networks and user adoption over the next five years, design engineers and manufacturers need advanced materials that enable faster, more efficient networks,” said Matt Mitchell, global marketing director, Specialty Engineered Materials at Avient. Additionally, ECCOH™ low smoke and fume non-halogen materials are well suited for fiber optics and communication cables; and Fiber-Line™ Swellcoat™ water blocking yarns enable cable designers to reduce cable footprint with higher fiber count cables for increased data transmission capabilities.

Continuous fiber-reinforced thermoplastics are composite materials that offer significant benefits for designing high-energy-density enclosures. Early consideration of these materials allows for greater design freedom and optimization for complex geometries. By embracing advanced materials and innovative design strategies, manufacturers can achieve higher battery pack energy densities and enhanced vehicle performance.  

So, how can engineered polymers enhance EV battery design and performance?   Design and Processing Flexibility: The versatility of plastic opens up new avenues for battery design and integration within electric vehicles. Polymers can be processed at a lower cost than metals, reducing overall material expenses.
