• Polyimide composites challenge metals
  . Compression molds cost about as much as molds for casting metal. Moreover, and even with custom layups, the cost of compression-molded products is on par with cast metals. Still, polyimide laminates have some shortcomings. For one, they can delaminate from fatigue. Furthermore, although the directional...

The "RA" type (fully activated) fluxes are corrosive, difficult to. remove...
• Laminated Plastics
  , as they are in a machined part. The molded-macerated method is used for similar parts that require uniform strength properties in all directions. Other common forms of laminated plastics are composite sheet laminates that incorporate a third material bonded to one or both surfaces of the laminate. Metals most...

  as laminates and shapes, molded parts, and stock shapes from some materials producers. Thin-film products enamel, adhesives, and coatings - are usually derived from thermoplastic polyimide resins. Laminates are based on continuous reinforcements including woven glass and quartz fabrics, or fibers...
• Epoxy
  and fatigue resistance. Epoxies have excellent electrical, thermal, and chemical resistance. Their strength can be further increased with fibrous reinforcement or mineral fillers. The variety of combinations of epoxy resins and reinforcements provides a wide latitude in properties obtainable in molded...
• Light as a feather -- stiff as a board
  . The other GMT from Azdel is a first-generation, mineral-filled reinforced composite that can replace SMCs in nonappearance structural applications. Traditional GMT composites are generally flow molded in a compression press and weigh 4,000 to 4,900 gm/m for thicknesses on the order of 2.5 mm...
• More than a soft touch and a pretty face
  , in a profession that prides itself on caution and precision, critical components would see no untried material. But designers jumped at the opportunity to evaluate new plastics that could give aesthetics over those possible from metal or composites. This was especially true where molded-in-color could replace...
• Secrets of Bond Strength
  the maximum strength and long-term resistance to deterioration is through a chemical or electrolytic pretreatment, particularly on thermoset and thermoplastic surfaces. Molded, cast, and laminated parts made f rom thermos et plastics such as glass-reinforced epoxy (GRE), glass and carbon-reinforced...

Disappearing tissue scaffolding. Biofelt is a proprietary...
