  2. High-density polyethylene - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-density_polyethylene

    HDPE is known for its high strength-to-density ratio. [4] The density of HDPE ranges from 930 to 970 kg/m 3. [5] Although the density of HDPE is only marginally higher than that of low-density polyethylene, HDPE has little branching, giving it stronger intermolecular forces and tensile strength (38 MPa versus 21 MPa) than LDPE.

    Young's modulus per density; specific stiffness (10 6 m 2 s −2) Young's modulus per density squared (10 3 m 5 kg −1 s −2) Young's modulus per density cubed (m 8 kg −2 s −2) Reference Latex foam, low density, 10% compression [4] 5.9 × 10 ^ −7: 0.06: 9.83 × 10 ^ −6: 0.000164: 0.00273: Reversible Assembled Cellular Composite ...

  4. Specific strength - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Specific_strength

    The SI unit for specific strength is Pa⋅m 3 /kg, or N⋅m/kg, which is dimensionally equivalent to m 2 /s 2, though the latter form is rarely used. Specific strength has the same units as specific energy , and is related to the maximum specific energy of rotation that an object can have without flying apart due to centrifugal force .

  5. Section modulus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Section_modulus

    In solid mechanics and structural engineering, section modulus is a geometric property of a given cross-section used in the design of beams or flexural members.Other geometric properties used in design include: area for tension and shear, radius of gyration for compression, and second moment of area and polar second moment of area for stiffness.

  6. Expanded polyethylene - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Expanded_polyethylene

    Typical densities are 29 to 120 kg/m 3 (49 to 202 lb/cu yd) with the lower figure being common. [1] Densities as low as 14 kg/m 3 (24 lb/cu yd) can be produced. [2] Base polymer for EPE foams range from Low-density polyethylene (LDPE) to High-density polyethylene (HDPE). [2]

  7. Polyethylene - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polyethylene

    For medium- and high-density polyethylene the melting point is typically in the range 120 to 130 °C (248 to 266 °F). The melting point for average commercial low-density polyethylene is typically 105 to 115 °C (221 to 239 °F).

  8. Sandwich panel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sandwich_panel

    The core is commonly low-density polyethylene (PE), or a mix of low-density polyethylene and mineral material to exhibit fire retardant properties. [10] 3A Composites (formerly Alcan Composites & Alusuisse) invented aluminium composites in 1964 - as a joint invention with BASF- and commercial production of Alucobond commenced in 1969.

  9. Thermoplastic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermoplastic

    Polyethylene (polyethene, polythene, PE) is a family of similar materials categorized according to their density and molecular structure. It is also known as poly and is obtained by the addition polymerisation of ethylene. It may be of low density or high density depending upon the process used in its manufacturing.
