Polystyrene
(SMA) copolymers. Structural characteristics of these resins are similar, but the SMA resins have the highest heat resistance. Expandable polystyrene (EPS) is a specialized form of the resin used to make lowdensity (0.75 to 10.0 lb/ft) foam shapes and blocks. These materials are suited for thermal

Putting The Right Spin On Rotational-Molding Designs
machine with three arms that rotate between loading/unloading stations, heating ovens, and cooling chambers. Kiss-offs increase part stiffness. They are used individually or in a series or pattern and will outperform ribs in many cases. The almost kiss-off gives nearly the same structural strength

Polyester
polyethylene carrier films. Uniformity of SMC materials is closely controlled, making these materials especially suited for automated production. Structural SMCs contain up to 65% glass in continuous, as well as random- fiber orientation. This compares with ~O to 35% glass, in random orientation

Thermoplastic Composites
are not always superior to those of the unreinforced compound, the reinforced modified compounds are always superior to the reinforced unmodified grades. Molded glass-reinforced and mineral-reinforced plastics are used in a broad range of structural and mechanical parts. For example, glass-reinforced

Back To The Future: Is Retro a thing of the past?
plates, muscular wheel flares, and tow hooks convey strength.". Hyundai used three ultralightweight structural ribs to form the safety cage. The ribs connect to a suspended surfboard-shaped spine. A prominent hood scoop and latches on the clamshell hood project an aggressive demeanor. The windshield's
