SMART MATERIALS - POLYMORPH SHAPING BY HAND |
|
V. Ryan © 2006 - 2008 | |
Polymorph is a thermoplastic material that can be
shaped and reshaped any number of times. it is normally supplied as
granules that look like small plastic beads. In the classroom it can be
heated in hot water and when it reaches 62 degrees centigrade the
granules form a mass of ‘clear’ material. When removed from the hot
water it can be shaped into almost any form and on cooling it becomes as
solid as a material such as nylon. |
