    Polyurethanes do not seem to have a close demise because it is as of now the best material that shoe soles are manufactured from a comparison in how it compares to other materials can be seen in figure 3. There are other things out there but the best products are variations of urethanes such as sorbothane. They provide a great deal of comfort while lasting a substantial amount of

    bridge uses both diagonal and vertical beams forming a triangular structure. The diagonal and vertical shape of the beams are very strong and light because the triangular shape that the beams make are ridged, utilizing a minimal amount of timbers. The material used in these bridges is also a big part of what makes it unique to other bridges. In the early nineteenth century a majority of bridges was consisted of stone, but wood and iron were better than resisting tension, this is why the United States had

    ad valorem tax would suppress demand, thereby reducing the price that sellers would receive on the market. When considering the aftermath of China’s loss in the 2013 WTO case, it was forced to eliminate the export restraint measures on the 9 raw materials, including coke. As a result, a tax-free situation meant that Chinese coke became cheaper again, which would have led to an increased supply of coke exports to the United States. Chinese Motivations and Claims Defending Export

    for measuring static and dynamic properties of materials and most of them involve applying a force to the material and measuring its displacement. Through these tests, measuring the stress applied and the resulting strain, it is possible to calculate material properties such as the Young modulus, the physical parameter corresponding to the material stiffness. The results of these experiments will depend on many mechanical properties of the material and it is often very common, in order to simplify

    with temperature, going from glass-like brittle behavior at low temperatures to a rubber-like behavior at high temperatures. Decreasing the strain rate has the same influence on the strain-strength characteristics as increasing the temperature: the material becomes softer and more ductile. The tensile modulus decreases with increasing temperature or diminishing strain rate. Higher cross-linking and molecular mass strengthen the polymer. Crystallinity increases strength as the secondary bonding is enhanced

    companies take into consideration on every step of a product’s lifestyle. In the authors’ observations that human industry should co-exist with nature by designing products that are in a way non-toxic, biodegradable, or recyclable without loss of material quality. With this in mind, a common type of consumer product such as a plastic bottle that could be redesigned to be healthier for humans, environmental friendly, and create less pollution towards our planet. The two ways that plastic bottles can

    properties, greater will be the applicability." A single material can’t provide the all expected properties for a particular application, at its isotropic level, carrying single homogenous phase. So, in order to get identified properties for any particular application, we may require composing the material in such a way, so that we can achieve the producible properties for desired application. This composed form of two or more than two material is termed as "composite". Composite is introductorily

    Pb or a mixture of these [1]. The direction of magnetization in these materials cannot be changed easily to another axis so that they are referred to as hard [2]. Barium hexaferrite (BaFe12O19) as a famous M-type hard ferrite with a magnetoplumbite structure has relatively high Curie temperature, coercive force and magnetic anisotropy field, along with high chemical stability and corrosion resistivity [3]. Hexaferrite materials have attracted interest of both scientific and industrial community due
