Japan develops a new plastic deformed like rubber

In the future, the car's red shock bars will be made of plastic that can deform like rubber. Japan's Toray Industrial Chemical Corporation has developed a new kind of plastic that is capable of withstanding the impact of deformation such as rubber.

In the future, the car's red shock bars will be made of plastic that can deform like rubber. Japan's Toray Industrial Chemical Corporation has developed a new kind of plastic that is capable of withstanding the impact of deformation such as rubber.

The Energy and Industrial Development Organization (NEDO) funds research and development (R & D) activities in the field of industrial, energy and environmental technology in Japan. Blend a molten plastic and components in the rubber. These two materials are mixed by a special extruder.

The durability of this new plastic is similar to that of the best nylon unless the new material is deformed only when subjected to forces above a certain threshold.

Toray plans to introduce the material in 2010, for example, in the manufacture of car shock absorbers or electronic component packages.
