AI Thread Summary
For high-speed rotating applications, material selection should prioritize low density, high tensile strength, and nonconductivity, while also considering heat exposure from electrical coils. Glass fiber is suggested as a potential material, but further details about the part's purpose, load conditions, and specific rotational speeds are necessary for a comprehensive evaluation. The discussion emphasizes the importance of understanding the operational context to make informed material choices. Without this information, it is challenging to provide tailored recommendations. Overall, careful consideration of these factors is crucial for optimizing material selection in such applications.

It will be rotating fast, so preferably a low density and high tensile strength. It also needs to be nonconductive, and it will be exposed to some heat generated from electrical coils. Thanks!

What about glass fiber?
 
You make no mention of the purpose the part serves, the loads imparted on it or any other constraints, especially how fast is "spinning fast?" How can anyone provide an answer?
 
Hello! I've been brainstorming on how to prevent a lot of ferrofluid droplets that are in the same container. This is for an art idea that I have (I absolutely love it when science and art come together) where I want it to look like a murmuration of starlings. Here's a link of what they look like: How could I make this happen? The only way I can think of to achieve the desired effect is to have varying droplet sizes of ferrofluid suspended in a clear viscous liquid. Im hoping for the...
Hello everyone! I am curious to learn how laboratories handle in-house chip manufacturing using soft lithography for microfluidics research. In the lab where I worked, only the mask for lithography was made by an external company, whereas the mold and chip fabrication were carried out by us. The process of making PDMS chips required around 30 min–1 h of manual work between prepolymer casting, punching/cutting, and plasma bonding. However, the total time required to make them was around 4...
