Polymers

Polymers are also an crucial part of materials science. Polymers are the raw materials which are used to make what we generally call plastics. Specialty plastics are materials with distinctive characteristics, like ultra-high strength, electrical conductivity, electro-fluorescence, high thermal stability. Plastics are split not on the basis of their material but on its properties and applications.The competition in the global carbon fiber and carbon fiber reinforced plastic market is intense within a few large players, like Toray Toho, Mitsubishi, Hexcel, Formosa, SGL carbon, Cytec, Aksa, Hyosung, Sabic, etc
