Properties, Uses, and Manufacturing Process of Silicone Resin Polymer Plastics!
Silicone Resin Polymer In 1943, a Scottish engineer, James Wright, was conducting mixture experiments in a test tube at the General Electric Company laboratory in Connecticut, USA. He accidentally mixed boric acid with silicone oil, causing them to "polymerize." When Wright extracted this sticky mixture from the test tube, he dropped some on the floor. Surprisingly, the substance bounced off the floor, and thus, elastic putty was born. Wright decided to find a practical use for his...

Properties, Uses, and Manufacturing Process of PET Plastic!
Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) PET is commonly used in food and soft drink packaging. However, due to beer's sensitivity to oxygen and carbon dioxide, PET is not suitable for packaging beer. The plastic bottles have five layers; two layers sandwiched between the main PET layers are oxygen scavengers, preventing oxygen from entering or escaping. Miller Brewing Company, which produced the first plastic beer bottle in 2000, claims that the plastic bottle keeps beer colder than aluminum cans...

What are the advantages of injection molding? Custom Injection Molding for Aerospace Applications
What are the advantages of injection molding? Custom Injection Molding for Aerospace Applications Injection molding is a process where plastic is first added to a mold, and then the mold rotates continuously along two perpendicular axes while being heated. Under the influence of gravity and heat energy, the plastic inside the mold gradually and evenly coats, melts, and adheres to the entire surface of the mold cavity, forming the desired shape, which is then cooled and solidified. Compared...
