2. Polycarbonate - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polycarbonate

   Polycarbonate. Polycarbonates (PC) are a group of thermoplastic polymers containing carbonate groups in their chemical structures. Polycarbonates used in engineering are strong, tough materials, and some grades are optically transparent. They are easily worked, molded, and thermoformed. Because of these properties, polycarbonates find many ...

3. Twinwall plastic - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twinwall_plastic

   6mm Twinwall Polycarbonate Sheet. Twin-wall plastic, specifically twin-wall polycarbonate, is an extruded multi-wall polymer product created for applications where its strength, thermally insulative properties, and moderate cost are ideal. [1] Polycarbonate, which is most commonly formed through the reaction of Bisphenol A and Carbonyl Chloride ...

4. Thermoplastic - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermoplastic

   A thermoplastic, or thermosoftening plastic, is any plastic polymer material that becomes pliable or moldable at a certain elevated temperature and solidifies upon cooling. [1][2] Most thermoplastics have a high molecular weight. The polymer chains associate by intermolecular forces, which weaken rapidly with increased temperature, yielding a ...

5. Engineering plastic - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engineering_plastic

   Engineering plastics[1] are a group of plastic materials that have better mechanical or thermal properties than the more widely used commodity plastics (such as polystyrene, polyvinyl chloride, polypropylene and polyethylene). Engineering plastics are more expensive than standard plastics, therefore they are produced in lower quantities and ...

6. Bulletproof glass - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bulletproof_glass

   Bulletproof glass of a jeweler's window after a burglary attempt. The Mona Lisa behind bulletproof glass at the Louvre Museum. Bulletproof glass, ballistic glass, transparent armor, or bullet-resistant glass is a strong and optically transparent material that is particularly resistant to penetration by projectiles, although, like any other material, it is not completely impenetrable.

7. Izod impact strength test - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Izod_impact_strength_test

   The Izod impact strength test is an ASTM standard method of determining the impact resistance of materials. A pivoting arm is raised to a specific height (constant potential energy) and then released. The arm swings down hitting a notched sample, breaking the specimen. The energy absorbed by the sample is calculated from the height the arm ...

8. Acrylonitrile styrene acrylate - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acrylonitrile_styrene_acrylate

   Acrylonitrile styrene acrylate (ASA), also called acrylic styrene acrylonitrile, is an amorphous thermoplastic developed as an alternative to acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS), that has improved weather resistance. It is an acrylate rubber-modified styrene acrylonitrile copolymer. It is used for general prototyping in 3D printing, where its ...

9. Insulated glazing - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Insulated_glazing

   EURO 68 wooden window profile with insulated glazing. Insulating glass (IG) consists of two or more glass window panes separated by a space to reduce heat transfer across a part of the building envelope. A window with insulating glass is commonly known as double glazing or a double-paned window, triple glazing or a triple-paned window, or ...
