Bonded films take the "bite"
Glass fibers poking out of plastic surfaces can abrade mating parts. Here's a way to stop it. A bonded film in cross section reveals the layered structure that forms the insulating barrier for GFTP parts. The substrate ( bluegray) is covered with nanosized reinforcement particles (pink) in a binder

How to make bearings last in electric motors
by electric arcing. Bearings coated with a ceramic insulating material stop electric arcing (inset). Hybrid bearings that incorporate ceramic rolling elements stop arcing as well. Rolling-element bearings in electric motors support and locate the rotor, maintain a small and consistent air gap between

Expanded PTFE Polymer Keeps Electrical and Electronics Cables Clean and Flexible
, and clean-room performance. Cable designers generally want materials that shield, jacket, and act as dielectrics to be inert, hydrophobic, and insulating. The materials also need to perform over a wide temperature range and withstand repeated and varied flexing. To determine material effectiveness

Where foam fits in medical design
it, compress it, and laminate it to change its characteristics. Foam plays a crucial role in surgery masks, cervical collars, thermal insulation and wound-care products, fluid regulators, and acoustic absorbers and dampers. This kind of versatility makes foam unique as a design material. And thanks

Connectors stand up to corrosion
in moisture. Lubricants and coolants that keep automated assembly lines running can attack plastic insulating materials. Likewise, steam and caustic chemicals used to wash down certain food-processing equipment can wreak havoc on connector continuity. Corrosion is further accelerated by sea salt
