| 41. | This technology allows the printing of full color prototypes, overhangs, and elastomer parts.
|
| 42. | A polydimethylsiloxane ( PDMS ) elastomer stamp is subsequently replica molded from the resist patterns.
|
| 43. | This is the reason such a material is called a thermoplastic elastomer ( TPE ).
|
| 44. | The elastomer film moves back to its original position when it is short-circuited.
|
| 45. | Silicones and acrylic elastomers are other alternatives.
|
| 46. | PEBA is a high performance thermoplastic elastomer.
|
| 47. | This is only an approximation since a true value is not really valid for elastomers.
|
| 48. | Ozone-resistant elastomers include EPDM, fluoroelastomers like Viton and polychloroprene rubbers like Neoprene.
|
| 49. | As a countermeasure, PDMS elastomers often are reinforced by carbon nanotubes and sepiolite mineral.
|
| 50. | In low to medium-vacuum applications, these are sealed with elastomer o-rings.
