The exterior skin of the manikin may be made of fiberglass, polyester, carbon fiber, or other heat conducting materials, within which are temperature sensors in each measurement zone. Underneath the skin is the heating element. Each zone of a thermal manikin is designed to be heated as evenly as possible.
Mannequins in a clothing shop in Canada A mannequin in North India. A mannequin (sometimes spelled as manikin and also called a dummy, lay figure, or dress form) is a doll, often articulated, used by artists, tailors, dressmakers, window dressers and others, especially to display or fit clothing and show off different fabrics and textiles.
Plasticine is a putty-like modelling material made from calcium salts, petroleum jelly and aliphatic acids.Though originally a brand name for the British version of the product, it is now applied generically in English as a product category to other formulations.
Pitch produced from petroleum may be called bitumen or asphalt, while plant-derived pitch, a resin, is known as rosin in its solid form. Tar is sometimes used interchangeably with pitch, but generally refers to a more liquid substance derived from coal production, including coal tar, or from plants, as in pine tar. [2]
D3O has various applications, such as in electronics (low-profile impact protection for phones, laptops, and other electronic devices), [20] sports (protective equipment), [21] motorcycle riding gear, [22] defence (helmet liners and body protection; footwear) [23] and industrial workwear (personal protective equipment such as gloves, knee pads and metatarsal guards for boots).
Viscoelasticity is a type of non-Newtonian flow, characterizing a material that acts as a viscous liquid over a long time period but as an elastic solid over a short time period. [7] Because its apparent viscosity increases directly with respect to the amount of force applied, Silly Putty can be characterized as a dilatant fluid.
Gel pens. Compared to other inks, gel ink has higher melting point viscosity, which supports a higher proportion of pigments in the medium.The pigments are typically copper phthalocyanine, carbon black and iron oxides, and the gel is made up of water and biopolymers, such as xanthan gum and tragacanth gum, as well as some types of polyacrylate thickeners.
Plastisol. A plastisol is a colloidal dispersion of small polymer particles, usually polyvinyl chloride (PVC), in a liquid plasticizer.When heated to around 180 °C (356 °F), the plastic particles absorb the plasticizer, causing them to swell and fuse together forming a viscous gel.
