Low molecular weight SEBS and PP compound tends to give better clarity product than high molecular weight SEBS. The one with low molecular weight of SEBS is transparent and the one with high molecular weight SEBS is transclscent. TEM of low molecular weight SEBS/Oil/PP compound Figure 1b.

Carbon Fiber Reinforced Rods, Bars and Laminates For Strengthening, Stiffening and Lightweighting Carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) products from Avient are continuous fiber polymer rods, bars and laminates used in a variety of structural strengthening, engineered weight reduction, and repair applications in multiple industries. VALUE SOLUTION Superior strength-to-weight ratio and rigidity for demanding applications Carbon fiber reinforced products have excellent tensile strength, corrosion resistance, and light weight properties, as well as high modulus of elasticity and excellent fatigue resistance. These profiles allow for the replacement of metal, wood and other less efficient materials in order to improve overall product performance while reducing weight, cost and complexity.

REDUCE Key Markets Key Customer Challenges • Improve fuel economy • Reduce energy consumption • Reduce carbon footprint • Lessening environmental impact Avient Solutions & Services • Solutions designed to replace traditional materials (e.g. metal, wood) at lower weight • Lightweighting solutions to reduce material usage or weight • Solutions that decrease energy required to manufacture parts • Avient Design services to reduce weight or energy consumption Consumer Transportation Building & Construction REDUCE Complēt™ Long Fiber Reinforced Structural Thermoplastics High strength to weight ratio of long fiber technology offers a lighter weight alternative to metal, without compromising performance. Polymeric, high molecular weight fluoropolymers are too large to cross biological membranes. Polymeric, high molecular weight fluoropolymers are too large to cross biological membranes.

Compared to metal, LFTs can reduce structural component weight by up to 40%, contributing to lower overall vehicle weight, fuel savings, and emission reductions.
