What issues are driving development? What can we expect? In the following 3 minutes of reading time, you will gain an up-to-date insight into aspects that will help you to master future challenges in medical technology more successfully. The headlines: The future of plastics processing is the circular economy: how recyclates are also changing medical technology Frying fat for defibrillators? Still a dream of the future ... Not a dream of the future: bio-based long fiber thermoplastics (LFT) Revolutionary PEEK: color variety and thermal conductivity for advanced medical technology!

For material developers, the art of compounding electrically conductive compounds consists of integrating various conductive fillers and reinforcing materials into a polymer matrix. For a compound that meets even the most detailed requirements for other structural properties - be it mechanical strength, stiffness or toughness, for example. And we do this consistently over the long term - batch after batch. Like all arts, this is not something that can be mastered "just like that". But a great deal can be achieved within several decades ...
