Air pocket sensors cut cost of large mouldings

Article Abstract:

A Cornish company has developed pressure sensors that are specially designed to optimize the control of 'Light' Resin Transfer Moulding (RTM), ensuring improved part quality at lower cost. Plastech Thermoset Tectonics, based in Gunnislake, has developed two types of PVSensors that rely on the use of PTFE bodies which do not stick to the resin and air to separate the resin from the chip sensing device.

Pressing for success

Article Abstract:

Metal pressings produced by Clamason Industries can replace plastic moldings to achieve greater strength per unit weight, enhanced long-term durability and built-in-EMC protection. Production rates can be upto hundreds per minute and tools tend to cost less than those used to produce equivalent injection molded plastic parts, which would result in lower cost.

Cross links cushion impacts

Article Abstract:

A novel polymer-based material, called d3o, undergoes an almost complete transformation from a viscous state to an elastic state when subjected to impact. Incorporated into sports clothing in order to protect against knocks, d3o also shows promise as a material for automotive suspension bushes and for sound insulation.
