2. Plastic extrusion - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plastic_extrusion

   A common post-extrusion process for plastic sheet stock is thermoforming, where the sheet is heated until soft (plastic), and formed via a mold into a new shape. When vacuum is used, this is often described as vacuum forming. Orientation (i.e. ability/ available density of the sheet to be drawn to the mold which can vary in depths from 1 to 36 ...

3. Zytel - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zytel

   An early example of plastic bicycle wheels, using fibreglass reinforced Zytel, were Skyway "Tuff Wheels" for BMX bicycles. In this role, any weight penalty was adequately compensated by durability and impact resistance. Former American 200m and 400m sprinter Michael Johnson used shoes made of Zytel at the Atlanta Olympics.

4. Glass-filled polymer - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glass-filled_polymer

   A wide range of polymers are now produced in glass-filled varieties, including polyamide (Nylon), acetal homopolymers and copolymers, polyester, polyphenylene oxide (PPO / Noryl), polycarbonate, polyethersulphone [4] Bulk moulding compound is a pre-mixed material of resin and fibres supplied for moulding. Some are thermoplastic or thermosetting ...

5. Polymer engineering - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polymer_engineering

   Plastic is a polymer compound which is polymerized by polyaddition polymerization and polycondensation. It is free to change the composition and shape. It is made up of synthetic resins and fillers, plasticizers, stabilizers, lubricants, colorants and other additives. [6] The main component of plastic is resin. Resin means that the polymer ...

6. Nylon - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nylon

   Nylon is a family of synthetic polymers characterized by amide linkages, typically connecting aliphatic or semi-aromatic groups.. Nylons are generally white or colorless [1] [failed verification] [2] [failed verification] and possess a soft texture, with some varieties exhibiting a silk-like appearance.

7. Fibre-reinforced plastic - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fibre-reinforced_plastic

   Fibre-reinforced plastic (FRP; also called fibre-reinforced polymer, or in American English fiber) is a composite material made of a polymer matrix reinforced with fibres. The fibres are usually glass (in fibreglass ), carbon (in carbon-fibre-reinforced polymer ), aramid , or basalt .
