In this interview, AZoM speaks with Erik Berndt (EB), Medical Industry Manager for Zwick/Roell, to discuss material testing trends in the medical plastics industry.
In this interview, AZoM spoke to Peter Ferraro from Empower Materials, a leading manufacturer of clean, thermally decomposable Thick Film Polymers to find out more about the process and where the future lies with QPAC 40 PPC leading the way.
Throughout history and the advancement of civilization, the discovery, development and application of metals has driven the way that people live and societies have been organically shaped.
After being severely and quasi-plastically distorted, shape memory materials (SMMs) are able to recover their original shape when a right stimulus is applied. This phenomenon is known as the shape memory effect (SME).
