There are certain polymers out there that can be classified as millable or machinable. When millable plastics are needed for the aggressive environments encountered by oil and gas equipment, the challenge to find a suitable polymer becomes even harder.
Top 3 Polymer Materials for Medical Implants
Designing a component for use in the human body is extremely challenging, and there are many regulations involved. In this blog post, we’ll talk about the top three polymers that are commonly used in medical implants:
- PEEK
- UHMW PE
- PSU
Understanding the Glass Transition Temperature of Polymers
As you know, polymers behave very differently from metals. One aspect of that behavior involves the glass transition temperature. In this blog post, we are going to focus on the glass transition temperature of thermoplastics.
