  2. Thermoplastic elastomer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermoplastic_elastomer

    Examples of those are soft grip surfaces, design elements, back-lit switches and surfaces, as well as sealings, gaskets, or damping elements. TPE is commonly used to make suspension bushings for automotive performance applications because of its greater resistance to deformation when compared to regular rubber bushings.

  3. Thermoplastic vulcanizates - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermoplastic_vulcanizates

    For example, new and old TPVs had nearly the same properties after air and oil ageing. The compression set also remained virtually identical. The results of tests that measured the color shift (Delta E) between the exterior and interior surfaces of old and new automotive secondary roof profiles showed that the TPV material experienced ...

  4. Formulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Formulation

    In pharmacy, a formulation is a mixture or a structure such as a capsule, tablet, or an emulsion, prepared according to a specific procedure (called a "formula")."). Formulations are a very important aspect of creating medicines, since they are essential to ensuring that the active part of the drug is delivered to the correct part of the body, in the right concentration, and at the right rate ...

  5. Finite element method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finite_element_method

    Examples of the variational formulation are the Galerkin method, the discontinuous Galerkin method, mixed methods, etc. A discretization strategy is understood to mean a clearly defined set of procedures that cover (a) the creation of finite element meshes, (b) the definition of basis function on reference elements (also called shape functions ...

  6. Polyolefin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polyolefin

    1-hexene, an example of an alpha-olefin Many poly-alpha-olefins have flexible alkyl branching groups on every other carbon of their polymer backbone chain. These alkyl groups, which can shape themselves in numerous conformations , make it very difficult for the polymer molecules to align themselves up side-by-side in an orderly way.

  7. Topology optimization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Topology_optimization

    The conventional topology optimization formulation uses a finite element method (FEM) to evaluate the design performance. The design is optimized using either gradient-based mathematical programming techniques such as the optimality criteria algorithm and the method of moving asymptotes or non gradient-based algorithms such as genetic algorithms.

  8. Ceramic forming techniques - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ceramic_forming_techniques

    There are many forming techniques to make ceramics, but one example is slip casting. This is where slip or, liquid clay, is poured into a plaster mould. The water in the slip is drawn out into the walls of the plaster mould, leaving an inside layer of solid clay, which hardens quickly. When dry, the solid clay can then also be removed.

  9. Micronization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Micronization

    Traditional micronization techniques are based on friction to reduce particle size. Such methods include milling, bashing and grinding.A typical industrial mill is composed of a cylindrical metallic drum that usually contains steel spheres.
