Taking advantage of the properties of a material is a key principle of engineering, a rule of industrial design that’s elegantly demonstrated in the field of industrial plastics fabrication by the exploitation of the softening and melting of thermoplastics. This polymer is well known for its recycling properties, meaning a thermoplastic can melt and solidify […]

When it comes to tough plastics, polycarbonate is the poster child that best exemplifies the term. There are few materials known to man with the properties of this near bullet-proof plastic. Indeed, polycarbonate is used as one of the protective layers in bullet proof glass, a military-style endorsement if one was needed. The substance is […]
