A polymer is a material formed by polymerization. Resins tend to flow when subjected to stress, usually have a softening or melting range, and usually fracture conchoidally. An acronym for room-temperature vulcanizing. An RTV adhesive vulcanizes without the application of heat. The sliding force required to break a bond, divided by its cross-sectional area.
Tensile strength is the resistance of a material to stretching without rupture.
It s expressed in pounds per square inch. The portion of the electromagnetic spectrum between X-rays and visible light. Wavelengths range from 40 to 400 nanometers. It s usually measured in centipoise. Water has a viscosity of 1 centipoise.
