With the miniaturization of many products, manufacturers are streamlining devices to pack more features into smaller packages. For instance, the pitch (spacing) between contacts in electrical ...

To improve the application of carbon black (CB)-filled polymer composites, we investigated the relationship between the processing parameters, microstructure and electrical properties of injection ...

Using molds to shape things is as old as humanity. In the Bronze Age, the copper-tin alloy was melted and cast into weapons in ceramic molds. Today, injection and extrusion molding shape hot liquids ...

There are a number of advantages to dip molding and coating that makes these processes both cost-effective and time-efficient. The molds, called "mandrels," are typically needed for the dip molding ...

A multiphysics model of biodegradable implants better predicts 3D dual-polymer injection and the control of the injection profile. Under normal conditions, the organs of the human body self-regulate ...

Macromolecules make up the majority of plastics, which are then processed into shaped pieces, semi-finished goods, films, or fibers. The selection of macromolecules, the production method, and the ...

AIM3D GmbH (Rostock, Germany) announces that it has succeeded in demonstrating the advantages of its patented Voxelfill process, a 3D printing technique that improves the strength and elasticity of ...

Answering the demand for a clear, chemical-resistant, and easily processed resin, DuraStar polymers have been introduced for a wide range of applications. The base resin is acid-modified PCT polymer.

Aseptic blow-fill-seal (B/F/S) systems for the processing of pharmaceutical liquids have experienced rapid and growing acceptance by the pharmaceutical industry over the past 20 years. This has been ...
