The use of polymeric materials has become very popular since last thirty years in many applications. The materials in this category can be broadly divided into two categories i.e. thermo bTcP]ScWTa _[PbcXRbIXcWX]RaTPbX]VcWTfa[SobR]RTa]PQdcaTRhR[PQX[XchP]ST]eXa] T]c protection issues thermoplastics have gained more attraction over the thermo set. Thermoplastic elastomers are novel constructional...

Thermoplastic towpregs are convenient and scalable raw materials for the fabrication of continuous fiber-reinforced thermoplastic matrix composites. In this paper, the potential to employ epoxy and styrene-acrylic sizing agents was evaluated for the making of carbon fiber thermoplastic towpregs via a powder-coating method. The protective effects and thermal stability of these sizing agents were...

The aim of this study was to analyse leachable monomers, additives, and degradation products from polymer-based orthodontic base-plate materials. One heat-cured resin (Orthocryl), one light-cured (Triad VLC), and three thermoplastic materials (Biocryl C, Essix A+, and Essix Embrace) were investigated. Elution was performed in water at 37°C for 10 days. The extract medium was changed and analyse...

Abstract 3D printing opens up new possibilities for the production of polymeric structures that would not be possible with injection molding. However, it is known manufacturing method might have an impact on mechanical properties manufactured components. To this end, behavior test specimens made thermoplastic polyurethane compared two different methods. In particular, SEAM technology (screw ext...

Abstract. Matrix accumulations, buckling and tearing of fibers metal sheets are common defects in the deep drawing fiber laminates. The previously developed in-situ hybridization process is a single-step method for manufacturing three-dimensional laminates (FML). During FML, low-viscosity thermoplastic matrix injected into dry glass fabric layer using resin transfer molding process. concurrent ...
