Smart rubber will recover its original mechanical strength within several hours of being split and then subsequently recombined. Residual hydrogen bond donors and acceptors responsible for the self-healing properties of the elastomer remain unpaired until the newly exposed surface comes in contact with another complementary surface, allowing formation of new intermolecular hydrogen bonds.
Athletic taping is the process of applying tape directly to the skin or over pre-wrap in order to maintain a stable position of bones and muscles during athletic activity. It is a procedure that uses athletic tape ( pressure-sensitive tape similar to surgical tape or elastic therapeutic tape ), attached to the skin , to physically hold muscles ...
Soloflex home gym machines use an elastic element to provide resistance. The product also comes with an instructional DVD. Soloflex's WBV Platform made news in July 2007 for a Consumer Reports review that demonstrated it had been using claims from research that may not apply to their machine. [3] "At press time, even the research on its Website ...
Self-amalgamating tape is a non-tacky silicone rubber tape that when stretched and wrapped around cables, electrical joints, hoses, and pipes combines or unites itself into a strong, seamless, rubbery, waterproof, and electrically insulating layer. [1] [2] Unlike many other polymers and fibers, it is heat-, sunlight-, and weather-resistant.
Although the most common types of self-healing materials are polymers or elastomers, self-healing covers all classes of materials, including metals, ceramics, and cementitious materials. Healing mechanisms vary from an instrinsic repair of the material to the addition of a repair agent contained in a microscopic vessel.
Injection molding of liquid silicone rubber (LSR) is a process to produce pliable, durable parts in high volume.. Liquid silicone rubber is a high purity platinum cured silicone with low compression set, good stability and ability to resist extreme temperatures of heat and cold ideally suitable for production of parts, where high quality is required.
Mima was founded in 1976 in the United States to manufacture stretch wrapping machinery. Mima was acquired by ITW in 1986. Alongside this, Matti Haloila started his own company in Finland and began manufacturing Haloila Haloila - Etusivu semi-automatic stretch wrappers in 1976. In 1983, Haloila launched an automatic, rotating ring stretch ...
Self-healing hydrogels are a specialized type of polymer hydrogel.A hydrogel is a macromolecular polymer gel constructed of a network of crosslinked polymer chains. Hydrogels are synthesized from hydrophilic monomers by either chain or step growth, along with a functional crosslinker to promote network formation.
