Researchers succeed in producing rapid, cost-effective and environmentally friendly material. Glass is ubiquitous, from high-tech products in the fields of optics, telecommunications, chemistry and ...

Plastic is a lot easier to work with than glass, which is one of the reasons it's used so much more often. That may be about to change, though, thanks to a new process that allows glass to be ...

Researchers present a new, low-temperature method for injection-molding transparent fused silica glass, similar to how many plastic objects are manufactured. According to the authors, the process ...

Glass is one of humanity’s oldest materials, and it is still used widely for everything from drinking vessels and packaging to optics and communications. Unfortunately, the methods for working with ...

Precision molded thermoplastic parts are used in everything from catheters and IVD cartridges to drug-delivery systems. In fact, the vast majority of medical devices include precision molded ...

Water-assisted injection molding (WAIM) is a specialised variant of conventional injection molding in which high-pressure water replaces or supplements polymer melt in the core of a part, yielding ...

Glass is ubiquitous, from high-tech products in the fields of optics, telecommunications, chemistry and medicine to everyday objects such as bottles and windows. However, shaping glass is mainly based ...
