AI Thread Summary
Polymer blend sheets, specifically mixes like PC-ABS or PMMA-PC, are sought for testing applications, but availability appears limited. The inquiry suggests that these blends are not commonly sold, potentially indicating a lack of market demand due to the existence of superior alternatives. A recommendation is made to seek advice in specialized forums such as chemistry or chemical engineering for further insights. The discussion highlights the challenges in sourcing specific polymer blends for testing. Overall, the conversation underscores the need for more information on the market for these materials.

I'm looking to get some polymer blend sheets for some tests. Something like PC-ABS or PMMA-PC or something of that nature. Basically a mix of 2 polymers but NOT a co-polymer. Just a simple mix. I looked all over and haven't found anyone selling it. Thanks!
 
Engineering news on Phys.org
While I am far from a specialist in polymers, I have been doing a little reading into them as my company is thinking about using polymers to replace existing materials. Might I suggest asking in the chemistry forum or chemical engineering?
If it's not sold then maybe there isn't a market for it. i.e. There are more superior polymers.
 

Thread 'Query on Isentropic relationships (such as PV^gamma = constant)'

Hi all, I have a question. So from the derivation of the Isentropic process relationship PV^gamma = constant, there is a step dW = PdV, which can only be said for quasi-equilibrium (or reversible) processes. As such I believe PV^gamma = constant (and the family of equations) should not be applicable to just adiabatic processes? Ie, it should be applicable only for adiabatic + reversible = isentropic processes? However, I've seen couple of online notes/books, and...

Thread 'How can I find the cleanout for my building drain?'

I am a long distance truck driver, but I recently completed a plumbing program with Stratford Career Institute. In the chapter of my textbook Repairing DWV Systems, the author says that if there is a clog in the building drain, one can clear out the clog by using a snake augur or maybe some other type of tool into the cleanout for the building drain. The author said that the cleanout for the building drain is usually near the stack. I live in a duplex townhouse. Just out of curiosity, I...

Thread 'Dry sump pump issue'

I have an engine that uses a dry sump oiling system. The oil collection pan has three AN fittings to use for scavenging. Two of the fittings are approximately on the same level, the third is about 1/2 to 3/4 inch higher than the other two. The system ran for years with no problem using a three stage pump (one pressure and two scavenge stages). The two scavenge stages were connected at times to any two of the three AN fittings on the tank. Recently I tried an upgrade to a four stage pump...
