Example 5: Composite material
SunForce can be used with other types of materials to achieve various functions.
1With resin material
Resin parts can be molded simultaneously with SunForce to increase the strength of product. This combination can also improve the aesthetics of the product.
This can also be achieved by heat sealing for certain resins that have good adhesion properties.
2With metal parts
Metal parts can be molded simultaneously with SunForce to increase strength of product. By utilizing metal, effects like electromagnetic wave shielding, heat transfer and dissipation can also be achieved.
Single sided heat conduction
Shutting out external heat while on the other hand, quickly dissipating heat from internal devices.
Electromagnetic wave shielding
Utilize metal mesh to reduce electromagnetic interference where needed. This composite (SunForce + metal mesh) is 10 to 20% lighter than conventional EMI shielding plastics.
By combining with SunForce, the product is able to maintain insulated on one side of the surface while metals and EMI shielding plastics turn conductive on both sides.
3With fiber material
SunForce can be used with carbon fiber reinforced plastics (using heat press).
