1. Short fiber thermoplastics: Thermoplastics containing short fiber reinforcements were first introduced commercially in the 1960s. The most common type of fibers used in short fiber thermoplastics are glass fiber and carbon fiber. (Chemistry) [100%] 2023-08-23 [Composite materials] [Thermoplastics]...
2. Vibration welding of thermoplastics: Vibration welding (also known as linear or friction welding) refers to a process in which two workpieces are brought in contact under pressure, and a reciprocating motion (vibration) is applied along the common interface in order to generate heat. The ... (Chemistry) [86%] 2023-11-19 [Thermoplastics]
3. Ultrasonic welding of thermoplastics: Ultrasonic welding is a method of joining thermoplastic components by heating and subsequent melting of surfaces in contact. Mechanical vibration with frequency between 10 and 70 kHz and amplitude of 10 to 250 μm is applied to joining parts. (Physics) [86%] 2022-11-11 [Ultrasound] [Welding]...
4. Implant induction welding of thermoplastics: Implant induction welding is a joining method used in plastic manufacturing. The welding process uses an induction coil to excite and heat electromagnetically susceptible material at the joint interface and melt the thermoplastic. (Engineering) [77%] 2024-01-13 [Welding]

1. Thermoplastic: A thermoplastic, or thermosoft plastic, is any plastic polymer material that becomes pliable or moldable at a certain elevated temperature and solidifies upon cooling. Most thermoplastics have a high molecular weight. (Chemistry) [100%] 2023-11-06 [Plastics] [Thermoplastics]...
2. Thermoplastic elastomer: Thermoplastic elastomers (TPE), sometimes referred to as thermoplastic rubbers, are a class of copolymers or a physical mix of polymers (usually a plastic and a rubber) that consist of materials with both thermoplastic and elastomeric properties.
