Superstrong nuts and bolts
for any posttreatment. Even with high fiber loadings, fastener threads can sustain high mechanical loads without shearing, thanks to a transitional fiber-orientation zone that transfers forces away from the threads to the fastener core. In contrast, conventional thermoplastic processing techniques

The Ultimate Tapping Screw for Plastics
novel, but material, equipment and tooling have evolved to permit pitch, diameter and thread form combinations that generate remarkable results when threading into most thermoplastic alloys. What we are defining is a 30 Degree thread form called Type FT. By comparison, a standard Type B thread

Joining Plastic
. Hot-gas welding: This is a low-speed process for fabricating large structural parts from sheet stock. A thermoplastic rod is heated with the parts to be joined until they soften and can be pushed together. The heat source is usually an inert gas. Top speed on long, straight welds is about 40 in./min

Pressure-Sensitive Adhesives Make Strong Joints at Low Cost
to the automotive and transportation industries is the ability to adhere to low-surface-energy (LSE) plastics without preapplication priming or flame treatment. It’s also a major benefit on adhesion-challenging appliance surfaces like powder-coated paint and plastics such as thermoplastic polyolefin

PSAs perform in assembly
. Solvent-based adhesives are polymerized in solvent and cast onto a web. Following coating, the solvent evaporates, leaving a functional adhesive. Hot melt and emulsion are two additional types of adhesives. Hot-melt adhesives are made from thermoplastic rubbers that formulate with tackifying resins, oils

Hybrid Linear Actuators: Technical Overview
thermoplastic material. This is because with new engineered plastics, the screw threads may now travel with a lower coefficient of friction. Figure 3 contrasts the rotor thread materials’ frictional properties. Based on this, it would seem obvious; why not use a plastic drive nut? Unfortunately, as good
