Industry:Textiles
Polymer that exhibits liquid crystal formation in melt form. In thermotropic polymers there must be a balance between having the necessary degree of molecular perfection to preserve the liquid crystal formation and the amount of imperfection to permit melting at workable temperatures. These polymers give high-modulus, highly oriented, extrusion products.
Industry:Textiles
A term used to describe a plastic that, once formed, does not melt when heated.
Industry:Textiles
Analytical technique in which the rate of change in weight of a material undergoing continuous heating versus temperature is plotted. Used in analysis of polymers to provide information on such parameters as degree of crystallinity, glass transition temperature, thermal stability, etc.
Industry:Textiles
A term used to describe a plastic material that is permanently fusible. The term as applied to manufactured fibers describes their tendency to soften at higher temperatures.
Industry:Textiles
A technique for bonding fibers of a web with meltable powders or fibers, using infrared heating, hot air, or hot-calendering.
