These updates further strengthen ICMD ® as a comprehensive platform for materials innovation and qualification, giving users control over microstructure-driven performance outcomes in demanding ...

PVA fiber is a synthetic polymer identified by high hydrophilicity, moderate modulus of flexibility, and strong interfacial ...

Biodegradable nitrile gloves are as safe and reliable as standard gloves and, according to a presenter, offer an opportunity ...

The result is a material that has 50% more tensile strength than steel with a strength-to-weight ratio that’s 10 times better, the company said. It’s also Class A fire rated, or highly ...

Developing high-performance carbon fibres with a high tensile modulus exceeding 350 GPa began with Torayca™ M40 with graphitized yarn2. Successors were Torayca™ M40J in 1984 and Torayca™ M46J in 1986 ...

A Texture Analyser/Materials Tester is a crucial part of this procedure, giving a reliable way to test the mechanical properties of products or materials by applying a choice of compression, tension, ...

Strength training is all about performance and how much force your muscles can produce, but it’s not going to give you that "toned" look as quickly as hypertrophy because the goal is to build ...

Back in April 2015, my CW column focused on the two ASTM standardized test methods used for measuring the through-the-thickness, or interlaminar, tensile strength of composite laminates. Despite their ...

Knots are known for boosting the strength of materials, and now Caltech engineers have developed a new material consisting of microscale knots, showing that it’s far tougher than a version of ...

Tensile strength measures the force required to pull something such as rope, wire, or a structural beam to the point where it breaks. The tensile strength of a material is the maximum amount of ...
