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. Electrically conductive components: Managing electrostatic discharge (ESD) or other static charges like electromagnetic Interference (EMI) is critical in modern vehicles. Electrically conductive and static dissipative materials can provide the necessary protection without the weight and design constraints of traditional metal components.
