A team of French researchers, directed by Damien Montarnal, of the Upper School of Physics and Industrial Chemicals of Paris, has designed a polymer that can be heated and moldeado several times and remain so resistant like the known industrial plastics, according to a study published this Thursday in the scientific magazine American Science, as it informs AFP. The material is out of the normal because "it can process to high temperatures of form repeated. (...) Even it can be grinded and recycled to give him a new form and follows keeping the mechanical properties of the original material", it signalled the study.
Can do complex forms “easily without using a mould” and, since the material does not melt , the tools of precision of heat do not result necessary as with a fan of hot air is sufficient, added. Once that it have developed , this material could finish being used for parts of aeroplanes or of cars, construction, electronic or sportive equipment.
