  2. Space Shuttle thermal protection system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_Shuttle_thermal...

    TUFI tiles came in high temperature black versions for use in the orbiter's underside, and lower temperature white versions for use on the upper body. While more impact resistant than other tiles, white versions conducted more heat which limited their use to the orbiter's upper body flap and main engine area.

  3. Pressure-sensitive adhesive - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pressure-sensitive_adhesive

    Styrene block copolymers (SBC), also called styrene copolymer adhesives and rubber-based adhesives, have good low-temperature flexibility, high elongation, and high heat resistance. They are frequently used in hot melt adhesive applications, where the composition retains tack even when solidified; however non-pressure-sensitive formulations are ...

  4. Hot-melt adhesive - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hot-melt_adhesive

    Higher molecular weight of the polymer chains provides higher tensile strength and heat resistance. Presence of unsaturated bonds makes the adhesive more susceptible to autoxidation and UV degradation and necessitates use of antioxidants and stabilizers. The adhesives are usually clear or translucent, colorless, straw-colored, tan, or amber.

  5. Liquid optically clear adhesive - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/.../Liquid_optically_clear_adhesive

    The adhesive bonds the touch panel to the main liquid crystal display, and also bonds any protective cover, such as the lens, to the touch panel. After application, the adhesive is cured onto the device through ultraviolet light (UV), heat, moisture, or a combination, depending on the manufacturer and specifications. Major applications include ...

    Construction adhesive being used to attach an access panel to drywall. The construction adhesive is in a caulking gun at the top of the image. Construction adhesive is a general-purpose adhesive used for attaching drywall , tile , molding , and fixtures to walls, ceilings, and floors. [ 1 ]

  7. Thermal adhesive - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_adhesive

    Thermal adhesive is a type of thermally conductive glue used for electronic components and heat sinks. It can be available as a paste (similar to thermal paste) or as a double-sided tape. [1] It is commonly used to bond integrated circuits to heatsinks where there are no other mounting mechanisms available.

  8. Pressure-sensitive tape - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pressure-sensitive_tape

    Pressure-sensitive tape or pressure-sensitive adhesive tape (PSA tape) is an adhesive tape that sticks when pressure is applied without the need for a solvent (such as water) or heat for activation. It is also known in various countries as self-stick tape , sticky tape , or just adhesive tape and tape , as well as genericized trademarks , such ...

  9. Ultra-high temperature ceramic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultra-high_temperature_ceramic

    Ultra-high-temperature ceramics (UHTCs) are a type of refractory ceramics that can withstand extremely high temperatures without degrading, often above 2,000 °C. [1] They also often have high thermal conductivities and are highly resistant to thermal shock, meaning they can withstand sudden and extreme changes in temperature without cracking or breaking.
