• A bright idea for the operating room
  , designers wanted to reduce costs by consolidating parts via metal-to-plastic conversion. "The switch to plastic would give us more flexibility for future versions of the lamp," Nieminen says. The company chose a 30% glass-fiber-reinforced blend of polybutadiene terephthalate (PBT) and polyethylene...
• On a roll with plastic solar cells
  from inexpensive plastic. The substrates of choice for many of these efforts include polycarbonate (PC), polyethylene (PE), and polyethyleneter aphthalate (PET), the same kind of polymer used for ordinary soft-drink and food containers. The light-sensitive material goes on via processes...
• Plastic Compounder's PET Project: Recycling
  , and reducing waste are often easier said than done. However, the production of polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) from recycled polyethylene terephthalate (PET) is one conservation idea that is entering the mainstream. In the United States alone, consumers generate 4 billion lb of PET bottle waste...

  : 888/99-NuGen (996-8436). A new technical support line at Advanced Specialty Gas Equipment enables customers to speak directly with an equipment expert without having the phone call routed through voice mail or an automated directory. The phone number is 888/999-ASGE (999-2743). The New Jersey based company's...
• Low-Shear Mixing for High-Performance Cable
  A wire company's R&D group switched to a low-shear mixer for cross-linking wire insulation. Physicists, chemists, polymer scientists, and mechanical engineers in the research and development department at e's Indianapolis Technology Center develop wire insulation and jacketing materials...
• Plastics Keep Electronics Out of the Weather
  boxes. However, exposure to solar radiation, heat, cold, and precipitation weakens metal. The enclosures eventually develop leaks and fail to protect the electronics inside. To solve this problem, a telecom company talked with rotational molding and design firm (MOD),. Plastics Keep Electronics Out...
• Letters - 05/22/2008
  After 31 years as an engineer, mostly at one large company, I urged my kids not to pursue engineering as a profession. I failed with my oldest, who is going to study chemical engineering at U.C. Berkeley, and will likely fail with my younger son, who is showing brilliance in physics. Why would I...
• I want my MVT
  humans from the environment, and the environment from humans. For example, in clean rooms or operating rooms, they shield sensitive electronics from flaking skin or protect patients from microorganisms released by the gown wearer. Deerfield, along with its German sister company Epurex, developed a range...
• Sealing the deal
  , company logos, and other information) that's pulled or stretched over product whether containers of several items, or individual units such as juice, soap, or bleach bottles. Then, with shrink-wrap labeling, heat makes labels tighten onto the products. PVC is the most common type of shrink film...
• Bioplastics, Energy Efficiency Build Up Attendance and Program at NPE 2009
  covers mold design, machining, materials, and other topics over three days. PET Strategies Plus, sponsored by MSC.Software, offers sessions on June 23 and 24 focusing on the use of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) resins and other packaging materials. Latin American Plastics, a set of Spanish-language...
