2. Thermoplastic polyurethane - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermoplastic_polyurethane

   TPU is the right choice when flexibility at low temperatures and/or an abrasion resistant thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) is requested. Polyether-based TPU in cases where additional excellent hydrolysis and microbial resistance is required, as well as in cases where extreme low-temperature flexibility is important. Ester-based TPU in cases where ...

3. Thermoplastic - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermoplastic

   Polylactic acid (polylactide) is a compostable thermoplastic aliphatic polyester derived from renewable resources, such as corn starch (in the United States), sugar beet pulp (in Europe), tapioca roots, chips or starch (mostly in Asia), or sugarcane. It is the most common material used for 3D printing with fused deposition modeling (FDM ...

4. Environmental stress cracking - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Environmental_stress_cracking

   The material was initially used in insulating electric cables, and cracking occurred due to the interaction of the insulation with oils. The solution to the problem lay in increasing the molecular weight of the polymer. A test of exposure to a strong detergent such as Igepal was developed to give a warning of ESC.

5. High-performance plastics - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-performance_plastics

   The improvement of mechanical properties and thermal stability is and has always been an important goal in the research of new plastics. Since the early 1960s, the development of high-performance plastics has been driven by corresponding needs in the aerospace and nuclear technology. [3]

6. Electroshapable material - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electroshapable_material

   They can substitute for more common thermoplastic polymers such as PVC, PE, PC, EVA. The particularity of electroshapable materials lies in their ability to become fluid and malleable when an electric voltage is applied to two ends of the material, before becoming rigid again after the voltage is removed. This process can be reversible.

7. Thermoplastic elastomer - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermoplastic_elastomer

   Thermoplastic olefins (TPO) are increasingly used as a roofing material. [8] TPEs are also widely used for catheters where nylon block copolymers offer a range of softness ideal for patients. Thermoplastic silicone and olefin blends are used for extrusion of glass run and dynamic weatherstripping car profiles. Styrene block copolymers are used ...

8. Heat-shrink tubing - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat-shrink_tubing

   Additionally, it is highly resistant to extreme heat, cold, and ultraviolet radiation, making it an excellent material for heat-shrink tubing applications. Polyolefin tubes, the most common kind, [ 8 ] have maximum continuous-use temperatures from -55 to 135 °C, and are used by the military, aerospace and railway industries.

9. Polybutylene terephthalate - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polybutylene_terephthalate

   It is a thermoplastic (semi-)crystalline polymer, and a type of polyester. PBT resists solvents, shrinks very little during forming, is mechanically strong, is heat-resistant up to 150 °C (or 200 °C with glass-fibre reinforcement), and can be treated with flame retardants to make it noncombustible.
