What stories could readers not skip last month as the weather and seasons turned, but the need for efficient plastics ...

Polyethylene has been around as a commercial material for a little over 70 years. It was one of the early developments in synthetic thermoplastics. Given its long history, it could be assumed that we ...

Producing plastics parts with undercuts presents distinct challenges for molders. Undercuts are protrusions or recessions in a part that prevent the mold, after the part is formed, from sliding away ...

In a previous article, we briefly discussed the influence of time as the second important factor in the mechanical response of polymers. The flip side of time is strain rate. The rate of loading for a ...
