References and Abstracts to carry stocks of two different parts. Then, with the help of Du Pont Italiana’s Technical Service Centre for Engineering Polymers, MGM redesigned the chassis as a single injection moulded part in high strength Zytel 6,6 nylon. The new chassis is lighter than the previous version and so is easier to carry and use, but it sacrifices nothing in performance and durability. Details are given.

A young designer’s ingenuity and perseverance, together with some design and development assistance from Du Pont, is reported to have led to the invention of the Terraplane, a device which enables mountain bikers to ride over seemingly insurmountable obstacles with apparent ease, and without damage to the chain wheel. Moulded entirely of Zytel ST nylon, the Terraplane is roughly the size and shape of a clotheshanger; it is fixed to the down-tube so that it almost bridges the gap between the bicycle’s wheels. Details are given.

The technology began by improving the handling of wheelchairs and subsequently advanced to bicycles. The newest versions are suitable for lawn tractors and electric vehicles, with full scale car tyres a real possibility in the near future. Prices are likely to be comparable with those of their conventional rubber equivalents. Urathon’s business is built on PU. Based in Hilmarton in Wiltshire, it has built up a substantial reputation for PU tyres for wheelchairs. The tyres, which are all moulded in China, are made so that the foam skins are on the outside, while the PU is in contact with the surface of the mould. Details are given of more recent developments. URATHON TYRE INDUSTRIES EUROPEAN COMMUNITY; EUROPEAN UNION; UK; WESTERN EUROPE Accession no.689792 Item 200 Advanced Materials & Processes 153, No.6, June 1998, p.77 MATERIALS ON THE TOSHIBA The Toshiba is a sailing yacht that is participating in an 11 month Whitbread Around-the-World race. The 1997- 98 race marks the first time that all competing yachts are built to the same class, at 64 ft long and 30,000 lb. Because all the boats are the same class, many distinctions between them are marginal. However, some differences can be significant. For example, the sail on the Toshiba has high performance sails made of AlliedSignal’s Spectra fibre. In fact, of the Toshiba’s 16 sails, the mainsail and other highly loaded spinnakers are made of sailcloth fabricated of Spectra yarns. These fibres were chosen because of their superior UV resistance, high tear strength and resistance to flex fatigue. The patented process for making the sailcloth was invented originally for the 1992 America’s Cup race. The cloth, which is described as resembling a fibre-reinforced film more than cloth, is a flexible composite in which Spectra fibre is incorporated into a non-woven, unidirectional laminate with Du Pont Mylar backing. Details are given. ALLIEDSIGNAL CORP.

The company partnered injection moulding machine maker Ferromatik Milacron and mouldmaker Foboha to develop a process for moulding the hard inner housing of clear PS overmoulded with a soft, coloured outer layer. 58 © Copyright 2001 Rapra Technology Limited

Nylon remains the number one engineering thermoplastic. This is because the variety of nylon grades available includes not only the old standbys, but whole new families of compounds designed for a large variety of specific end uses. For example, new grades are now available using specialised nucleation systems which combine the benefits of nucleation with much greater toughness. Applications for nylon grades continue to grow in the automotive, electrical and sports equipment sectors.

The design has earned its designer, Eikon Product Realization Inc. the first IDSA/Plastics News Design Award. The three-dimensional computer aided design program SDRC Ideas was used as well as Protogenic’s rapid prototyping system to produce a full-size prototype model. Bayflex 110-25 elastomeric urethane RIM system is used encapsulate most of the frame in a single, 15 second shot. Production savings made by the use of reaction injection moulding are discussed.

In addition, it is a technological spectacle offering a fertile grounding for composites materials. The framework of technological engineering in motor racing is outlined, with some emphasis on composites in Formula 1. Future developments are described, concluding with an example of R & D in F1 - energy absorption by composite materials.

Typically, a new golf club head design takes about 13 months to develop, but using RP the company was able to begin concepting new irons just seven months prior to the scheduled production. The cost of a fused deposition modelling RP system was offset by savings per iteration. MIZUNO USA USA Accession no.679833 Item 208 Scrap Tire News © Copyright 2001Rapra Technology Limited 59
