These new materials can help manufacturers to meet consumer expectations such as higher capacity, faster data transfer speeds, and coverage in high density areas.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: On pace for exponential growth, 5G technology is becoming the standard for a fully mobile and networked society through larger data capacity, faster speeds and lower latency.

Consumer and business expectations for high-speed connectivity will continue to drive demand for optical fiber cable to carry voice and data transmissions,” said Holger Kronimus, VP and general manager Europe, Specialty Engineered Materials, at PolyOne.

Graphene is a flat, single layer of carbon atoms in sheet form that is significantly stronger than steel.3 It has a high surface area-to-volume ratio, high tensile strength (how much it can stretch before it breaks), and high electron mobility (the speed at which its electrons move when voltage is applied).4 Graphene is not a new material, but it recently became commercially available and is now being used as a polymer additive.

Compounds at the high end of the resistivity scale shield against electromagnetic interference (EMI) or radio-frequency interference (RFI).1 Faster data transmission and broader electromagnetic frequencies are driving the need for better EMI/RFI protection for electronic devices.2
