SynopsisPlastics offer many advantages over other common bearing materials. Plastics are extremely corrosive resistant and most are chemically resistant. Plastic bearings do not transfer heat to other areas of the mechanical assembly. Many plastics are even self.....
SynopsisPolymer concretes are a type of concrete that use polymers to replace lime-type cements as a binder. In some cases the polymer is used in addition to portland cement to form Polymer Cement Concrete (PCC) or Polymer Modified Concrete (PMC). The global Pol.....
SynopsisA polymer foam is a foam, in liquid or solidified form, formed from polymers. Examples include: Ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA) foam, the copolymers of ethylene and vinyl acetate; also referred to as polyethylene-vinyl acetate (PEVA) Low-density polyethylene (LDP.....
SynopsisPolymer nanocomposites are materials in which nanoscopic inorganic particles, typically 10-100 A in at least one dimension, are dispersed in an organic polymer matrix in order to dramati- cally improve the performance properties of the polymer. The globa.....
SynopsisPolymethyl Methacrylate (PMMA) is a thermoplastic polymer of Methyl Methacrylate (MMA). It is a clear, strong and lightweight plastic generally used as a substitute to glass due to its energy efficiency and weather resistance. The global Poly (methyl met.....
SynopsisPolyol Sweetener are organic compounds, typically derived from sugars. They are white, water-soluble solids that can occur naturally or be produced industrially from sugars. They are used widely in the food industry as thickeners and sweeteners. In commercial .....
SynopsisPolyolefins are the biggest class of commodity thermoplastics. These polymers are made of simple alkenes, which include ethylene, propylene, butenes, and pentenes, and their copolymers. Polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene (PP) are the two most widely used poly.....
SynopsisPolypropylene is a thermoplastic polymer which can be readily formed by catalytic polymerization of propylene. In foam form it is used for various applications such as packaging, automobile, construction, electrical and electronics, and medical industries.
SynopsisPTFE film is a kind of film made of polytetrafluorethylene with the property of waterproof, windproof and heat resistant. These PTFE films are available in hydrophilic, hydrophobic, supported, and unsupported options for a wide range of applications involving .....
SynopsisPolyurethane consists of organic components connected by urethane links. The majority of polyurethanes available are thermosetting polymers that do not melt at high temperatures. Polyurethane is conventionally utilized and is produced with the help of a polyol.....
