Less noise and vibration with foam
vibrations before they produce annoying sound or destructive resonance. When bonded to inch-thick open-cell polyurethane foam, the composite provides a nonreflective surface that absorbs air noise from gears, linkages, fan blades, and motors. It also reduces vibration. Vibration dampers

tape thoroughly wets out the surface to be bonded. The greater the wet out, the better the surface coverage and the greater the attractive forces between adhesives and plastic surfaces. Surfaces with high surface energy bond more readily because they are easier to wet with conventional adhesives

Next breakthrough material for military use could be carbon foam
and thermoplastic composites. Typical tool fabrication involves bonding a number of CFOAM substrates together with compatible adhesives and CNC machining the tool surface to a near-net-shape part dimension. The selected tool surface material is bonded to the CFOAM, cured, and machined to final part

For cost sensitive programs, a preliminary cost. of plastic materials are adhesive, melt-bonded and. analysis that examines

Bonding low surface energy plastics
a liquid or viscoelastic solid flows and intimately covers a surface. Maximum adhesion develops when the adhesive or viscoelastic PSA tape thoroughly wets out the surface to be bonded. The greater the wet out, the better the surface coverage and the greater the attractive forces between adhesives

Featured Application: Laser Cutting Nylon/Foam Laminate
devices. The material used in this cutting trial is composed of a woven nylon fabric bonded on either side to a foam core, for an overall thickness of 7 mm (0.275"). To determine cut quality and cut speed, we set up our XY table with a 63.5 mm (2.5") positive meniscus optic that provides a 100-micron

Can you still see me now?
Corp., Rogers, Conn., reports the hardness characteristics of its Poron family of urethane foams using ASTM D3574. This standard describes procedures for evaluating "Flexible Cellular Materials Slab, Bonded, and Molded Urethane Foams." In this test method hardness is determined by Compression
