Medical Device Link . Developments in Surface Treatment Technologies
Tran Ltd. (Northampton, UK) specializes in the deposition of parylene films by means of vapour condensation. The polymer coating is, in fact, grown one molecule at a time, according to marketing manager Chris Hardy, and therefore it provides complete and uniform coverage. Ample mechanical and barrier

Medical Device Link . EXPLAINING DUCTILITY LOSS IN STEAM-STERILIZED POLYCARBONATE
. Condensation polymers such as polyesters and copolyesters are also known to undergo similar hydrolysis and can lose mechanical properties as a consequence of hot-water aging. Most of the studies involved long-term aging on the order of days or months. Other investigations focused on the effects

Types of Plastics
. Phenolic, urea, and melamine thermoset plastics are polymerized by a "condensation" reaction, wherein a by-product (water, for example) is created during the reaction in the mold. Such volatile by-products cause dimensional instability and low part strength unless they are removed during molding.

Humidity sensors
. A dielectric layer made from a thin polymer film or a metal oxide is placed between two metal electrodes. The surface electrode is porous so water vapor in the air reaches the dielectric layer yet still protects it from contamination and exposure to condensation. At 50% RH, the capacitance
