Injection moulds for a new back-moulding application – the direct back-moulding of metal foils – are now available from the company that develops and builds them: Georg Kaufmann Formenbau AG.
A species of slug (Arion subfuscus) produces a defensive gel it can chemically convert into a remarkably strong glue. Similar gel-based glues attach some snails firmly onto slippery rocks; tools are needed to pry them of...
Materials researchers at Penn State University have reported the highest known breakdown strength for a bulk glass ever measured. Breakdown strength, along with dielectric constant, determines how much energy can be stored in an insulating material before it fails and begins to conduct electricity.
The Society of Plastics Engineers’ Thermoforming Board of Directors has cancelled its Annual Thermoforming Conference in September 2009 and will instead focus its marketing energies on the Thermoforming Division’s multi-exhibitor Thermoforming World Pavilion at NPE2009.
