If a reinforced substrate material is used a high hardness abrasion resistant steel may be required.
Part dimensions including substrate warpage.

For example, automotive designers may choose materials for vehicle interior surfaces to create the perception of quality and luxury.
TPEs can be used alone, or these softer materials can be overmolded onto a rigid plastic substrate using co-injection or insert injection-molding technology.
The result is an outer layer of TPE material over a rigid substrate that adds a distinct, soft-touch feel to the stiffness and strength of the supporting structure.

With faster material lead times, manufacturers of 5th generation (5G) antennas can qualify designs faster and
meet the demands of rapidly deploying 5G infrastructures.
An increase in base station density coverage drives
the need for more 5G optimized antennas as well.
Avient can custom formulate materials for 5G antennas that
meet specified dielectric constant (Dk) values, sample within one week, and deliver on production quantities
within two to three weeks.
