Assembly demands grow for medical plastics

Monday, May 6th, 2013 | Permalink

A study done at Value Plastics, a molder of precision molded couplers for medical applications, shows that a servo welder produces hermetic welds with a standard deviation of 0.4% compared to 2.9% when using a pneumatic welder. Those results were reported last month at ANTEC in Cincinnati, OH by three officials at Dukane Corp., which has been testing potential benefits of its recently developed servo-driven ultrasonic welder.

Researchers create functional 3D-printed ear

Thursday, May 2nd, 2013 | Permalink

Researchers at Princeton University are integrating silver nanoparticles and tissue to create functional ears using off-the-shelf 3D printing equipment. The technique could replace the conventional medical approach of building synthetic organs through use of polymer scaffolds. That approach, which also uses plastic fibers is moving into the mainstream. Most recently a two-year-old girl received a synthetic windpipe at Children’s Hospital of Illinois (Peoria, IL).

Medical Musings: Reshoring is just hopeful hype

Wednesday, May 1st, 2013 | Permalink

All Sites The concept of “reshoring” sure gets a lot of buzz in American manufacturing media these days. You’ve seen the stories. America is more competitive because labor prices are rising in China; Asian quality is inferior; communications problems torpedoed a project; shipping costs are rising, etc. The newest line is that lower natural gas prices will bring manufacturing back to the United States. A new 125-page report from Morgan Stanley called “U.S. Manufacturing Renaissance: Is It A Masterpiece Or A Fake?” throws cold water on that argument. read more

Subsitute for BPA in epoxy looks ‘promising’

Tuesday, April 30th, 2013 | Permalink

Researchers at the University of Massachusetts Lowell say they have identified and tested a potential chemical substitute for bisphenol A (BPA) in epoxy. Use of epoxy in food contact applications, such as can linings, have been under pressure because of concerns about potential health effects of the BPA used to make it. With financial support from the Massachusetts Toxics Use Reduction Institute, the researchers studied a possible alternate–the bis(epoxide) of 2,2,4,4-tetramethyl-1,3-cyclobutanediol.
