The most common plastic material on mobile phones today is polycarbonate (PC), which is resistant to weak acid and alkali, as well as neutral oil.
Within plastics the most widespread build material for smartphones is polycarbonate and it offers a great way for original equipment manufacturers to cut down on expenses.
Polycarbonate cell phone housing may have a chemical coating to improve its scratch-resistance. In addition to enclosures, plastics are used in a wide range of cell phone applications ranging from mounting brackets and display frames to display backlight guides, insulator sheets and vibration cushions.
mobile phone is typically composed of about 40% of plastic, 32% of non-ferrous metal, 20% of glass and ceramics, 3% of ferrous metal and 5% other.
Mobile phones differ from manufacturer to manufacturer and from model to model.The most common plastic material on mobile phones today is polycarbonate (PC), which is resistant to weak acid and alkali, as well as neutral oil.
Global smartphone plastics market accounted for $XX Billion in 2022 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2023 to 2030.
Sharp to launch smart phone made of Mitsubishi’s bio-based engineering plastic.Durabio Sharp Corporation, the Japanese designer and producer of electronic products, has used Mitsubishi Chemical’s bio-based engineering plastic Durabio for the front panel of its new smartphone, the Aquos Crystal 2.
The smart phone is slated to go on sale in the middle of July 2015 through SoftBank. This is for the first time that a bio-based engineering plastic has been used on the front panel of any smartphone.
Most front panels of smartphones are made of glass, and their susceptibility to cracking has been an ongoing problem.
This has led manufacturers to consider polycarbonate and other plastics for the front panels because of their light weight and increased durability compared to glass.
Unfortunately, some traditionally available plastics offered excellent optical properties, but were more prone to cracking upon impact, while others that were impact-resistant tended to have poor optical properties.
Mitsubishi Chemical-developed Durabio is a bio-based engineering plastic made from plant-derived isosorbide, which features excellent performance as it offers higher resistance to impact, heat, and weather than conventional engineering plastics. In addition, it has excellent transparency and low optical distortion.
