    LEXAN is the flagship product of SABIC Innovative Plastics (formerly GE Plastics) and is used in everything from CDs and DVDs to car bumpers. Though Dr. Fox is often credited with the invention of LEXAN resin, the patent and agreement to share the plastic between Bayer and General Electric is much more complicated than the simplistic "Father of ...

  3. Vermiculite - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vermiculite

    Exfoliated vermiculite treated with a water repellent is used to fill the pores and cavities of masonry construction and hollow blockwork to enhance fire ratings (e.g. Underwriters Laboratories Wall and Partition designs), thermal insulation, and acoustic performance. Expanded vermiculite has also been used as thermal insulation in the attics ...

    (OC 6 H 4) 2 C(CH 3) 2 CO ) n + O 2, R* → (OC 6 H 4) 2 C(CH 3 CH 2)CO) n. This product can be further oxidized to form smaller unsaturated compounds. This can proceed via two different pathways, the products formed depends on which mechanism takes place. [38] Pathway A (OC 6 H 4) 2 C(CH 3 CH 2)CO + O 2, H* HO(OC 6 H 4)OCO + CH 3 COCH 2 (OC 6 ...

  5. Linear density - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_density

    Consider a long, thin wire of charge and length .To calculate the average linear charge density, ¯, of this one dimensional object, we can simply divide the total charge, , by the total length, : ¯ = If we describe the wire as having a varying charge (one that varies as a function of position along the length of the wire, ), we can write: = Each infinitesimal unit of charge, , is equal to ...

  6. Hydraulic analogy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydraulic_analogy

    A relatively wide hose completely filled with water is equivalent to a conducting wire. A rigidly mounted pipe is equivalent to a trace on a circuit board. When comparing to a trace or wire, the hose or pipe should be thought of as having semi-permanent caps on the ends. Connecting one end of a wire to a circuit is equivalent to un-capping one ...

  7. Inductance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inductance

    A coiled wire has a higher inductance than a straight wire of the same length, because the magnetic field lines pass through the circuit multiple times, it has multiple flux linkages. The inductance is proportional to the square of the number of turns in the coil, assuming full flux linkage.
