This is a PET laminate film that transforms any window or clear surface into a fully transparent, live display. This film consists of a PET substrate, a nanoparticle-embedded polymer layer, an …
A plasticizer is a substance added to a material to make it more flexible, softer, less frictional, or less viscous. More specifically, we regard plasticizers as a substance added to a raw polymer to …
This week we're going to talk about the difference between water and solvent coatings. Coatings typically contain four components. Resin that provides body Additives that lend performance …
Compare and contrast the differences between thin and tick coatings and their benefits. …
A substrate is the surface upon which a process is conducted such as painting. It is important in the design of a product. The substrate’s base chemistry and surface properties dictates which post …
Design for disassembly (DfD) is a design methodology that considers a product or structure’s end-of-life, such that it can be repaired, refurbished, or recycled following its intended use. Moreover, …
Materiality is the notion that the physical properties of a product influences how the product is used. Moreover, materiality may refer to the end-uses of a material in product …
Even well-known materials evolve! In this seminar with Dr. Andrew Dent, we explore the wide range of applications and improvements even the most well-known materials have undergone in the last decade …
Effective design saves time and money - and taking manufacturability into consideration when designing will maximize your speed and efficiency. While the materials, themselves, are important, …
