Glass-filled polymer (or glass-filled plastic), is a mouldable composite material. It comprises short glass fibers in a matrix of a polymer material. It is used to manufacture a wide range of structural components by injection or compression moulding. [1] It is an ideal glass alternative that offers flexibility in the part, chemical resistance ...
Polycarbonate has a glass transition temperature of about 147 °C (297 °F), [8] so it softens gradually above this point and flows above about 155 °C (311 °F). [9] Tools must be held at high temperatures, generally above 80 °C (176 °F) to make strain-free and stress-free products.
V-Ray rendering of a kitchen using SketchUp Folded paper: SketchUp drawing rendered using V-Ray, demonstrating shading and global illumination Render created using V-Ray for Rhinoceros 3D, demonstrating the advanced effects V-Ray is capable of, such as reflection, depth of field, and the shape of the aperture (in this case, a hexagon)
Although single layer polycarbonate sheeting is more flexible than polycarbonate in twinwall configuration, it still retains significant advantages over alternative materials, including glass. A typical 6mm sheet has a density of 0.72 g/cm^2 [ 6 ] and a thermal insulation R value of 0.3 m^2°C/W, while allowing 80% of visible light pass through ...
VRay is promoted for use in the architectural visualization field used in conjunction with 3ds Max and SketchUp. It is also commonly used with Maya and Rhino. Vue is a tool for creating, animating and rendering natural 3D environments. It was most recently used to create the background jungle environments in the 2nd and 3rd Pirates of the ...
The first commercial use of CR-39 monomer (ADC) was to help create glass-reinforced plastic fuel tanks for the B-17 bomber aircraft in World War II, reducing the weight and increasing the range of the bomber. After the war, the Armorlite Lens Company in California is credited with manufacturing the first CR-39 eyeglass lenses in 1947.
In the absence of activating light, the lenses return to their clear state. Photochromic lenses may be made of polycarbonate, or another plastic. Glass lenses use visible light to darken. They are principally used in glasses that are dark in bright sunlight, but clear, or more rarely, lightly tinted in low ambient light conditions. They darken ...
Vitrification (from Latin vitrum 'glass', via French vitrifier) is the full or partial transformation of a substance into a glass, [1] that is to say, a non-crystalline or amorphous solid. Glasses differ from liquids structurally and glasses possess a higher degree of connectivity with the same Hausdorff dimensionality of bonds as crystals: dim ...
