We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Engineering Polymers",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Engineeringtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Nylon screws suit electrical equipment from
Anixter Components, which we summarised at the time by saying "Anixter Components' nylon screws provide a simple solution to problems of insulation, corrosion, weight-saving and magnetism".
Several months prior to that,
we featured the news release Couplings add flexibility to custom motion systems from
Huco Dynatork: "The three-part sliding disc Oldham coupling is typically recommended by LinTech for applications that involve high acceleration and the starting and stopping of high inertial loads".
In July 2006, we covered the news from DuPont (UK)
- take a look at Polymer presentations focus on design aspects
which says: "DuPont Engineering Polymers is tailoring the presentation of its portfolio of high-performance polymers at PDM 2006 to address designers and design engineers".
Take a look also at the news release from DuPont (UK), Resins and elastomer products set to go green,
as well as Couplings add flexibility to custom linear systems from Huco Dynatork,
and Nylon adds style to new Ford Transit from DuPont (UK).
