According to Custom Market Insights (CMI), The Global Lyotropic Liquid Crystal Polymer Market size was estimated at USD 1.38 Billion in 2021 and is expected to hit around USD 2.48 Billion by 2030, poised to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.53 % from 2022 to 2030.
Lyotropic liquid crystal polymers are also functional polymers, and stimuli-response polymers are high-performance polymers that undergo changes according to external environmental factors. For instance, Ista and Lopez employed poly(N-isopropylacryl-amide) (PNIPAAM), which undergoes rapid and reversible changes in response to external environmental factors such as PH, temperature, climate, light, and among others. Furthermore, the properties of lyotropic liquid crystal polymers are rigid, easy to process, resilient, flexible, and biocompatible. Therefore, it finds various applications in end-use industries such as automotive, electronics, textile, biotechnology, nuclear energy, and many others.
