Discover the effects of material formulations and thickness on dielectric performance Plastic parts come into play for 5G by ensuring wireless signals can easily pass through the plastic material to minimize signal loss. For 5G and beyond, signal transparency of materials will become more critical since those frequencies will require higher energy and less loss.

We’ve combined material science and innovation to expand designers’ ability to solve application challenges.”

Homepage // News Center // Extreme Conditions Are No Match for New Outdoor Sign Material This material solution offers exceptional thermoformed detail, improved material distribution, short heating and cooling cycles, and no pre-drying under normal conditions, enabling sign manufacturers to save on energy, labor and production costs.”  This new material was developed to meet customer needs for an expanded solution set that tackles the toughest outdoor signage applications.

Recycling Materials into New Composites: Repurposing manufacturing waste to create new composites prevents it from going into landfills. As materials engineers, it's crucial to consider several factors when adopting more circular composites. Materials engineers play a pivotal role in the quest to make composites more circular and sustainable.

In addition to increased flexibility, designers wanted the prosthetic foot to provide multiaxial stability, have a symmetrical shape for right or left side application, and provide a modern, attractive design—a feature generally reserved for higher activity prosthetic feet. Beyond material selection, the collaborative team also identified a proprietary design and finishing process that could be achieved with the tooling already in place at WillowWood’s Ohio-based manufacturing facility. THE IMPACT Finding a material that could enable just the right amount of flexibility as well as necessary stability was critical to meet the needs of WillowWood’s target market.
