For stiffness or strength requirements, consider leveraging long fiber thermoplastics technologies.
2.
However, long-fiber thermoplastic (LFT) technology addresses these concerns, bridging the gap between short-fiber reinforced formulations and over-engineered materials.
LFTs still offer the ease of injection molding, like short-fiber polymers, but the fiber length and type (glass, carbon, etc.) are key factors in the strength, stiffness, and durability of plastics.
