I am not a baby!! (Yes you are)

(Part seven lmao)

Sometimes Danny hated being right. Mentally he cursed himself as he clamored into his lifepod. The Aurora was spilling radiation into the water just like predicted it would. A damaged drive core... That didn't bode well for him or the local wildlife. He was a Fenton! He knew the terminology for "This might blow up," in every language, no matter how needlessly complicated you said it.

A radiation suit would be helpful when the ship blew up, if not for him, then for the other survivors. Danny grew up surrounded by radioactive material, he was about as fucked up as one could get, but there was still time left for the other survivors. If there even were any left.

Shaking his head, Danny opened the storage plucking out the remaining Creepvine clusters, and started fabricating. It was hypnotic, Creepvine clusters to lubricant, copper and mushrooms to a battery and copper wire all that and a piece of titanium gave Danny a functioning Seaglide. The device was heavy, the PDA altering the blueprint so it was usable for him.

Opening the hatch up, eager to test his new toy out, Danny dove back into the water faster than ever before. Propellers spun at speeds that would chop his finger clean off if he touched them. A glowing map at the top and a flashlight he could turn off by squeezing the handles. Quick enough to keep up with the peepers while still being able to make quick sharp turns.

The Device whirled as he swam in circles, up, down, left, right, zigzag! Through coral tubes, around stone arches till he got dizzy, divebombing fish and kicking up sand.

"Congratulations, survivor. you have exceeded your weekly exercise quotient by 500 percent. Data indicates that swimming was your favorite activity,"

Heck yeah it was! Swimming is great! He's fast as hell man, radiation could eat shit! Stalkers wouldn't stand a chance, he'd just outpace them! Swimming around, breaking outcrops, and taking samples of table coral for a computer chip. Danny was having a blast!

In time he would have the materials to fabricate a habitat builder and in turn a super cool sea base! A home away from home while he's stuck outside federation space. Currently, the seabase blueprints he had were...limited, but he could work with that!

Rushing to his fabricator the blue lights felt agonizingly slow as he bounced on the heels of his feet, flippers squeaking against the floor. A habitat builder fell into Danny's impatient hands.

Back in the water, Danny scoped out the area. Access to an abundance of resources, food, and water was a necessity. Along with awareness of local predators. The shallows are a perfect place for him to build right now. A temp base to rest and store stuff before moving somewhere more convenient as he explored and met up with any of the other survivors.

Deciding to test out his new tool, Danny placed down a basic compartment. A tiny little tube that would've been big enough if he only needed a place to sleep. Yeah, that wasn't going to work. How was he supposed to pace aimlessly while he wrote notes? How was he supposed to work and live in a high-tech pool noodle? Disassembling the pathetic tube, Danny swam through the shallows plucking up the quartz needed for glass. More materials would be needed to build his base. Thankfully, he’d crashed in a ship made from and carrying the materials he needed. Danny saw no moral issue with “borrowing” titanium from supply crates light enough to lift, but the PDA seemed to have a small issue with it. With a few minutes of tinkering, it was easy to change the machine’s artificial mind.

A loop, he was going to make a base shaped like a zero because that’s how many fucks he gave about Alterra’s dumb rule. Placed upon foundations was the start of his perfect space base. The sides of the Zero became glass compartments, a perfect place to observe the local wildlife. Solar panels mounted jumpstarted the oxygen production, lights blinding when they snapped on. Fish drifted by his base, some ducking underneath his foundations settling comfortably in the shade provided. Maybe if he was here long enough, he’d grow some plants for fish to nibble on?

A hatch was placed on the front of the Zero, finally giving him access to his new base. Cold air punched him in the face as he stepped inside, but it was a welcome attack. Air conditioning at last! Throwing himself to the floor, Danny giggled, noise bouncing against barren walls. A sterile smell cycled through the base with the air filtered in. Like his parent's lab or a hospital room freshly sanitized. Familiar, it smelled like home.

Peeling off his flippers, Danny propped them against the wall. Bare feet against metal floors, Danny took to running through the loop. Brushing his hands against empty walls, he ran laps like it was gym class. The only difference was this wasn't gym class, so it didn't feel like hell. Several laps ran throughout his base until his breath ran out, and he collapsed to the floor.

Winded and panting, he glanced around his base mentally, planning where everything would go. Blueprints were limited, but brainpower wasn't. Making new blueprints for shelving units or a bed should be easy enough. The hard part would be finding the space for it. If he tinkered with the PDA, he could fabricate some blankets and pillows that he could sleep on and store away when he was awake.

First things first, he needed to get a fabricator and some storage set up. A few wall lockers on each side of the fabricator made his little crafting station. His base still felt bare. White walls would get boring real fast. No paint or paper he could use to decorate. No stickers or wallpaper to paint his base to match the stars. Untapped Potential, something to add to his to-do list. If he couldn't decorate anything else, changing the locker's text font would have to do.

Walking in a loop, Danny muttered, his brain working better than his mouth. Words failed, coming out jumbled if they were more than one or two easy syllables. Fangs created a lisp that'd get him verbally castrated if he was back at Casper. That was if he didn't maul them with his newfound face knives. Like a piranha, he was dangerous! Fierce!

Tap...Tap...Tap

Feet freezing, Danny turned to the window, heart jumping to his throat. Several glowing eyes stared back at him, burning a hole into his soul. Stripes of colors ranging from blue, purple, and forest green ran along its massive scaly body and dragon-like head. Two razor-sharp fangs poked out of a closed mouth. Arms glowing blue that faded to pitch black when reaching its four-fingered hands, each claw sharper than a sword. Hands, oh ancients, why does this one have hands? The other one didn't have hands! Curled up, it would be the same size as his base. Danny pointed his scanner at the guy, the results striking terror into the deepest depths of his core...

What the fuck do you mean this guy's a juvenile!?!

[creaturebehavior]

earlier my mom asked me what i wanted for christmas and i figured i’ll use this opportunity to get some paint colors i’m low on

and after picking out a couple things i need and sending them to her (a couple different tubes of pink watercolors because i ALWAYS use up all the pinks in my watercolor palettes and i need more pink, a tube of just basic titanium white acrylic paint, a tube of basic quinacridone magenta acrylic paint, a set of metallic water colors cuz my multi color set has a few empty colors, and then a little set of smaller paintbrushes cuz i only have a couple small brushes honestly but i use small paintbrushes more than anything else) i had a moment where i was like whoa…. There are things about me. like i’m a person.

despite actually having a lot of interests, and very specific tastes and preferences in things, i also still have a wavering and unstable sense of identity and easily lose touch with who i am, and with what a personality even is.

i’m still not entirely sure what counts as a personality, but at times i have seen people say that a good way to get to know yourself is to begin to recognize your tastes, interests, perspectives, opinions, preferences, etc. and that it can even help to write these things down

i don’t usually write them down but i have been trying to become more aware of these things about myself as i discover them

what’s cool is even though i’ve been having an incredibly difficult year, i have been going through a transformative period where i am slowly being shown my shadow self, and also slowly being shown with my… nonshadow self. idk what that’s called. and i’m still in the infant phases of getting to know myself and becoming more aware of myself i guess? but i am definitely making progress, and i welcome the darkness and the lightness to be shown to me. it’s like i’ve been waiting all my life to begin to see glimpses of myself and here i am. every now and again i can see myself flickering in front of me

The Important Role of Orbital Welding in the Aerospace Industry

What is Orbital Welding?

Orbital welding is a process where the welding arc is rotated circumferentially around a workpiece, typically a tube or pipe, in a continuous motion. The process is usually automated and highly controlled, ensuring that each weld is consistent, accurate, and free from defects. Orbital welding systems consist of a welding power supply, control system, and an orbital head that rotates the welding tool around the workpiece. It was initially developed in the 1960s for the aerospace sector to meet the stringent demands for weld precision and reliability.

The Growing Need for Orbital Welding in Aerospace

The aerospace industry is marked by the production of high-performance components that must withstand extreme conditions, including high temperatures, pressure fluctuations, and mechanical stresses. As aircraft and spacecraft technology has evolved, so too have the demands for greater fuel efficiency, lighter materials, and stronger structures. Orbital welding fits into this environment by providing a welding process that meets these high demands in several critical ways:

Precision and Accuracy: Aerospace components require incredibly tight tolerances and welds with minimal error margins. Orbital welding offers a high degree of precision, which is essential in the aerospace sector where even the slightest defect in a weld could lead to catastrophic failure.

Repeatability and Consistency: In automated orbital welding, every weld is identical, ensuring that each component fabricated in a series maintains the same level of integrity. This consistency is crucial for mass production of aerospace parts, ensuring that each part performs as expected.

Weld Quality: Aerospace applications require welds to be extremely strong and free from imperfections such as cracks, voids, or inclusions. Orbital welding, being a controlled process, minimizes the risk of these defects by maintaining consistent heat input, travel speed, and weld positioning throughout the entire operation.

Safety: Given the extreme environments that aerospace components are subjected to, safety is of utmost importance. Failures in weld joints can lead to dangerous consequences, especially in space applications or in flight. Orbital welding significantly enhances the reliability and safety of the welded joints.

Applications of Orbital Welding in Aerospace

Orbital welding has a wide range of applications in the aerospace industry, from building aircraft fuselages to assembling rocket propulsion systems. Some of the most notable applications include:

Tubes and Piping Systems: Aircraft and spacecraft are equipped with complex piping systems used for fuel delivery, hydraulic systems, and cooling systems. Orbital welding is ideal for joining thin-walled tubes made from materials such as stainless steel, titanium, and nickel alloys that are commonly used in these systems. The precision and control offered by orbital welding ensures that the piping systems can withstand high pressures and temperatures.

Propulsion Systems: Rocket engines and jet engines involve intricate pipework and components that must be able to withstand extreme conditions. Orbital welding is used extensively in the construction of these systems due to its ability to produce clean, high-strength welds. The automated nature of orbital welding also minimizes the risk of human error in these critical components.

Structural Components: The frames and structural components of spacecraft, satellites, and airplanes often require high-quality welds that provide strength without adding unnecessary weight. Orbital welding allows for the creation of lighter, stronger structures by ensuring consistent, high-strength joints across various sections.

Fuel and Cryogenic Systems: Orbital welding is also used to manufacture fuel systems, including cryogenic tanks that store liquid hydrogen and oxygen in space missions. These tanks and their associated piping must be leak-proof and able to operate under ultra-cold temperatures, making orbital welding the preferred method due to its precision.

Maintenance and Repair: In addition to manufacturing, orbital welding is also employed in the maintenance and repair of aerospace systems. For example, when tubing in fuel delivery or hydraulic systems requires repair, orbital welding can be used to precisely weld the replacement parts, ensuring that the integrity of the system is maintained.

Advantages of Orbital Welding in Aerospace

The advantages of orbital welding extend far beyond its precision and consistency. Several other benefits make it the welding method of choice for many aerospace applications:

Automation: The automated nature of orbital welding reduces the dependency on manual labor, which is particularly important in the aerospace industry where highly skilled welders are often in short supply. The automation ensures that welds are made with minimal human intervention, reducing the possibility of human error.

Material Compatibility: Aerospace materials often include high-strength, temperature-resistant alloys such as Inconel, titanium, and aluminum. Orbital welding is well-suited for these materials, producing high-quality welds that meet stringent aerospace standards.

Time Efficiency: Automation also reduces welding time, as orbital welding systems can operate continuously and more rapidly than manual welding. This increase in production efficiency is vital for meeting the aerospace industry’s tight deadlines, particularly when building or maintaining large aircraft fleets or spacecraft systems.

Environmental Control: Orbital welding is often performed in environments with tight control over factors like temperature, humidity, and contaminants. This level of control is essential for aerospace welding, where even minor contaminants can compromise the integrity of a weld, potentially leading to failure during flight or in space missions.

Cost-Effectiveness: Although the initial investment in orbital welding equipment may be higher, the long-term benefits often result in lower costs. The reduced labor requirements, increased efficiency, and higher reliability of the welds help lower overall production costs. Additionally, the reduced risk of part failure due to poor weld quality can save money in terms of repairs and replacements.

Challenges and Future Prospects

Despite its many benefits, orbital welding does have some challenges. For example, the high level of orbital welding training required to operate and program orbital welding machines can present a barrier to entry. Furthermore, the initial cost of orbital welding equipment is significant, though it is often justified by the long-term savings and improved weld quality.

Looking ahead, advancements in automation and robotics are likely to further improve the capabilities of orbital welding in aerospace applications. Innovations such as artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning may be integrated into orbital welding systems to optimize welding parameters in real-time, leading to even greater precision and efficiency. Additionally, as new aerospace materials are developed, orbital welding techniques will continue to evolve to accommodate these advanced materials.

Conclusion

Orbital welding has become an essential technology in the aerospace sector due to its unmatched precision, consistency, and quality. From rocket engines to aircraft hydraulic systems, this automated welding process ensures that critical aerospace components meet the industry’s demanding safety and performance standards. As the aerospace industry continues to evolve, so too will the importance of orbital welding, supporting the creation of increasingly advanced and reliable aircraft and spacecraft systems.

CMYK are primaries but in the additive sense, meaning that this applies to inks, like in printers or markers, or otherwise in transparent highly-tinting homogenous stains. you will get red from applying yellow ink on top of magenta ink. you will NOT get red from mixing magenta paint and yellow paint. really, depending on the pigments involved, you might not even get orange from mixing yellow and red paints.

there are many different variables at play when it comes to paint. indeed, in some cases, depending on the type of medium, opacity, tinting strength, and method of applying, they may be following the additive rules, but other than that we are dealing with a secret third thing.

for example there is no one Blue Paint. there are different blue pigments with different hues and opacity and way of interacting with other pigments. prussian blue also known as paris blue is transparent, deep and intensely tinting, has a very wide saturation range depending on dilution, and its hue can be described as cool temperature-wise. cobalt blue is much lighter and with a narrower saturation range, more opaque and stable, and can be successfully combined with some red pigments to obtain deep purple tones. ultramarine is The blue pigment, originally obtained from lapis lazuli but nowadays usually synthetic, and it is intensely tinting, luminous, transparent or semi-transparent with a wide saturation range, neutral to red-toned; it mixes well with reds and browns. and so on and so forth. mixing prussian blue with yellow pigments will yield you a wide variety of luminous intense greens, but you wont get bright vivid purples from prussian blue combinations. cobalt blue and ultramarine on the other hand wont give you vivid greens when mixed with yellow, although you might find the neutral and subdued tones you end up with to be nonetheless appealing. in my personal experience both ultramarine and prussian blue mix quite well with cadmium orange & red and titanium white to obtain various shades and hues of neutral browns greys and medium-to-cool beiges, which do a great job framing more vivid parts of your image to make them pop, as well as perform well as an easy basic palette for shaded areas in daylight snowy landscapes, giving you a nice variety of light temperature and refraction.

my point is, paint isnt ink. and youll need more than just the primaries. if you do half tones, color mixing, subdued but complex palettes etc, youll want single-pigment paints--check the label. the more different pigments youve got in a single tube the more likely it is youll get some muddy bullshit when mixing. look at tint and transparency. get into siennas, umbras, and ochres, and youll understand that earth tones can be just as vivid and velvety and luminous as jewel tones. when working with paint you have to keep in mind that youre dealing with a physical substance with physical and chemical properties, and those also vary brand to brand, with quality and method of production also influencing the rich nuances of their performance.

hey paul!!!

i still get legit mad sometimes, years later, thinking about that big post that used to be going around that was like "art classes lied to you, CMYK are the real primary colors for pigments, not yellow red and blue, so get paints as similar to cyan magenta and yellow as your primaries" ouuuuuuouuurghhggg ggghgrr.

motosu-ko - formd t1 × liquidhaus ext.

So it's finally done, moving my components to the FormD T1 and building a fancy custom loop with an external radiator setup on an Liquidhaus EXT to cool it. It was actually built and has been running since mid February of this year but I'm only just now writing about it due to procrastinating a whole lot. The PC has been working without any issues so far, no hardware problems, leaks or stuff growing inside the loop so I do have confirmation that I didn't mess up anything while building it at least. In this post I'll cover the hardware of this build, both the new additions and the old stuff I carried over from my previous Meshlicious build since I never actually wrote about the specs of my PC before.

The case, as already mentioned is a FormD T1 v2.1. This being the T1 from the original team/factory (being sold at formdt1.com), something I have to clarify as the dispute between the two founders behind the original case has only gotten messier and both are now offering their own T1's on different sites (Caselabs.org has a writeup on it if you're curious). I got the case in Titanium with matching side panels, being surrounded by largely black colored devices it stands out to a surprising degree despite the T1's minimalist exterior design which I really enjoy. The build experience with the T1 is fairly intuitive as the inside of the case is basically just a few aluminum struts to mount the components to, I did have to use YouTube build guides for additional reference though as the offical manual is extremely lackluster. The only notable pain point for assembling the case was having to bend the riser cable, it has a reputation for being fragile but requires a scary amount of force in order to fit.

When it comes to custom loop components, specifically the fittings I mostly have ones made by EKWB. It's something I wanna mention up front as a few months after I completed this build it came to light that EK was doing some really awful stuff to their employees (Gamers Nexus were the ones who broke the news on this whole mess). While I don't think it'd be reasonable to replace those parts just because the company that made them turned out to be shitty I'll definitely choose other brands when I'll swap out fittings or other components in order to simplify/optimize the loop in the future.

Now onto the thing that's largely responsible for keeping the PC cooled, which is the external radiator setup. When it comes to external rads, Watercool's MO-RA in a square, two columns of two 200mm fans seems to be the most popular option, though personally I'm not a huge fan of the car radiator aesthetic and as I also wanted something to sit on the desk the footprint of those radiators was also way too large. So what I went for instead is a Liquidhaus EXT radiator stand, combined with an EKWB X560M radiator and a quarted of Noctua's NF-A14 140mm fans. Mounted on the backside of the radiator is a Watercool Heatkiller Tube reservoir that also houses the D5 pump that's powering the loop. I really love how this whole assembly towers over everthing else on the desk and while the PC can't run without it due to the pump being in there it does make filling the loop trivially easy. Cable management for the fans could use some improvement though, I'll probably need to learn how to make custom cables if I want to make it really presentable.

Tubing used throughout the build is 10/16mm (inner/outer diameter) EPDM from Watercool, it's rubber soft tubing that's easy to work with and won't discolor or leech any substances into the loop over time like transparent soft tubing options. Liquidhaus, who besides making the EXT also make some really cool PC builds where they'll sometimes wrap soft tubing in MDPC-X (the same kind of cable sleeving some fancy custom PSU and keyboard cables use), it's something I really want to try myself in the future. Though I'll have to confirm wheter or not Watercool's EPDM is even suitable for this beforehand, softness of this type of tubing can vary between manufacturer/supplier and with the additional sleeving layer it might be impossible to secure the collars for the compression fittings.

The external radiator and case are linked together with two pairs of Koolance QDT4 quick disconnect fittings, they are basically scaled up versions of the much recommended QD3 quick disconnects that don't restrict liquid flow as much due to that size increase. Originally I wanted to mount them on 90° fittings, pointing downwards but the QDT4's are so heavy that they put too much stress on the o-ring inside the rotary part of those fittings that they wouldn't hold pressure during leak testing. Because of this I just screwed the quick disconnects into the T1's pass through fittings directly, this does add some extra length to the case but I've honestly started to enjoy how this looks, with the two large connectors much more visible this way.

The pass through section on the inside of the case has some really messy tube runs on both the gpu and motherboard side. I failed to account for the radiator bracket extending so far to the back of the case and also the large amount of cables on top of the motherboard taking up so much space so I had to use some complex fitting combinations in order to make these two runs work. These sections of the loop will definitely need some improvements in the future, I wanna reduce the amount of fittings used and simplify them, will probably also need silicone sleeved PSU cables to free up some space in order to allow for that.

For a motherboard I have an Asus B550-I, Asus are the only ones that put 2-pin temperature sensor headers on ITX boards (at least on AM4) so I'm glad I chose this board years ago even though I wasn't even sure whether I'd get into custom watercooling back then. Because of this I can have the fan speed adjust to the coolant temperature directly through the BIOS and don't need an additional controller that would need mounting, cables and software running in the background to get that same functionality.

On the board sits a humble AMD 5600X that I've had since I first got into DIY PC's back in late 2020 and it has so far offered enough performance for all my gaming needs. A lot less humble is the brick of copper that's cooling it, the Optimus Signature V3 waterblock that was more expensive than the actual CPU. When I'll upgrade my CPU at some point in the future I'll almost certainly move to AM5 (which shares the cooler mounting with AM4) so I figured I can treat myself to a fancy boutique part as I can carry it over to the next build.

RAM is a TeamGroup Dark Pro DDR4 32GB 3600MHz CL16 kit, one neat feature about these is that the plastic bit on top of the heatspreader can be removed to make them a few mm shorter which made the straightfoward tubing run from the CPU block to the internal radiator possible. For storage I have a single Samsung 980 PRO 2TB SSD, the previous build in the Meshlicious had a second one in the rear M.2 slot but the T1's riser cable hugs the back of the motherboard so tightly that the drive couldn't fit with it's heatsink attached and running it without the cooler is a bit to risky to me (more so out of concern for the riser than the SSD itself). I mainly got this second drive because it was at a decent price during a sale rather than a need for this much storage so it's not really a loss, regretfully it was a needless purchase of me though.

Powering the PC is a Corsair SF750, a SFX PSU that has been held in high regard by the SFF community that's recently been discontinued (though it is being replaced by a newer, identically named SF750 as part of a new SFX PSU lineup from Corsair that'll hopefully live up to the original's quality). The paracord sleeved cables that came with the PSU are decently flexible but they're also excessively long for such a small case that led to a lot of excess cable being shoved onto the GPU side as you can see below. I made it work but it would've been much better if I had gotten a tailor made PSU cable kit instead.

To make full use of the T1's space I have an XSPC TX240 radiator paired with two Noctua Chromax NF-A12×25 fans that provide a bit of extra cooling. This radiator/fan combo taps so close to the 46mm of clearance in the T1's top that I had to remove the fans rubber anti-vibration pads and use screws that don't go through the whole fan frame as just one extra millimeter would prevent the top panel from fitting. At first I also tried to have the radiator mounted on top of the fans but found out that it's sides were scraping against parts of the top panel which is why there's a few scratch marks on the rad, whoopsy!

The GPU side of the case is pretty straightfoward and there's nothing really spectacular I had to build here. The little column coming down from the radiator is a t-splitter where, on the G1/4 thread facing the inside of the case a generic plug-style temperature sensor from Koolance is screwed in. Next in the loop order is the GPU, an Nvidia RTX 3080 Ti Founders Edition with a waterblock from EKWB. Thanks to the compact PCB of this card the GPU shrunk quite a bit with the new cooler, this turned out to be very useful as it left a lot of room for the aforementioned excess of PSU cables. This side of the case is also where all the cables for the external radiator go out, the T1's back is pretty much just open so they're only fixed in place there with a few cable ties.

Putting this whole build together turned out to be a pretty big challenge, while the regular PC building stuff wasn't an issue I grossly underestimated the amount of time it would take to assemble the custom loop. Initially I thought it'd take me maybe four or five days with a weekend during that period to complete it but instead it was a full two weeks of work, starting from disassembly of the old build to completion of the new one. Having started this project with neither the case, tubing or fittings in hand meant that I only had a rough idea of how I'd lay out the tubing runs and this led to a lot of redoing of sections becasue what I had planned beforehand would simply not work. I did however get extra fittings for potential alernate routing options in advance and managed to make things work with what I had on hand, there's two 45° adapters in the loop that I initially didn't plan on using but the build would not have been possible without them so thankfully I managed to compensate for my sloppy planning this way.

Overall I'm satisfied with how this project turned out. It's currently the middle of summer here in Germany and despite having no AC in my room the PC remains quiet even under full load, the fan speed changing in a much more gradual manner due to it being controlled via the coolant temperature also makes for a much more pleasant noise profile compared to the old AIO/air cooled Meshlicious. For that previous build I used some fairly conservative, set and forget undervolt settings for both the CPU and GPU but I do want to squeeze out a better performance to watt ratio on this new one after spending so much time, effort and money on such a complex cooling solution (and also save a bit of power at the same time). There's still lot's of places in this build that could do with improvements as right now it's very much function over form, but then again the goal of this whole project was to lay the foundation for further refinement projects so I'd say it accomplished that quite well.

From Concept to Cure: The Evolution of Medical Plastics

Overview of Medical Plastics

Medical plastics have become ubiquitous in healthcare applications over recent decades. A wide range of polymers are now used in everything from surgical tools and medical devices to implants, prosthetics, and diagnostic equipment. Some key advantages of plastics for medical applications include their lightweight nature, durability, biocompatibility, and flexibility in design and manufacturing. This article provides an overview of common medical plastics and their uses in modern patient care.

Thermoplastics in Surgical Tools and Medical Devices

Thermoplastics like polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and polyolefins are widely employed in disposable medical tools and devices. These plastics can be easily shaped, formed, and sealed through heating and cooling processes like injection molding and extrusion. Common thermoplastic applications include surgical drapes, gowns, gloves, face masks, catheters, tubing, syringes, and many other single-use items. Thermoplastics offer sterilizability, low cost, and convenience as they can be produced quickly and disposed of after a single use, reducing risks of cross-contamination compared to reusable materials.

Thermoplastics are also used to construct housings and components of more complex medical devices like dialysis machines, ventilators, ultrasound probes, endoscopes, and surgical tools. Their material properties allow intricate geometries to be replicated precisely while withstanding regular cleaning and sterilization cycles. Polycarbonate and acrylic thermoplastics often feature in medical device and equipment construction due to their transparency properties as well.

Engineering Plastics for Implants and Prosthetics

Engineering plastics with advanced material qualities have enabled new frontiers in medical implants and prosthetics.
