Close-space sublimation. Closed space sublimation is a method of producing thin-films, esp. cadmium telluride photovoltaics, though it is used for other materials like antimony triselenide.  It is a type of physical vapor deposition where the substrate to be coated and the source material are held close to one another. They are both placed in a vacuum chamber, which is pumped down. The source and substrate are then heated. The source is heated to some fraction of its melting temperature, and the substrate some lower temperature e.g. 640 °C and 600 °C, respectively.  This causes sublimation of the source, allowing vapors to travel a short distance to the substrate, where they condense, producing a thin film. This short-path diffusion is similar in principle to short-path distillation. Compared to other techniques, it is a relevantly insensitive process, and takes as little as 15 minutes for an entire cycle. This makes it a very viable technique for large-scale manufacturing.

Reflective transformative design. The reflective transformative design process (RTDP) is a design method developed at Eindhoven University of technology department of Industrial design and proposes a more dynamic, and open design process compared to the more classical double diamond design process. Where the focus is on transforming society through design by continuously reflecting on your vision and the impact that the design will have. The sequence of the design path is not fixed, the focus is on reflection on the process and the result after each activity. It has overlap with the Lean startup method, in a way that it describes a cyclic, continuous process. It also has overlap with Action research, where research is done by actively participating in the research, in the case of RTDP the designer's artifact is participating in the context.

Elements of Reflective transformative design 
The main element of RTDP is ideating integrating, realizing which contains methods like prototyping, wizzard of ozz, sketching

 Envisioning/transforming: Storytelling
 Analyzing/Abstracting: Mapping, Systems theory
 Validating Quality: This category is related to user-testing or making a Minimum viable product
 Sensing perceiving doing: Workmanship, hacking

The process is defined as a path though these actions, where the designer reflects on whether the design process is leading towards the envisioned goal.

Poly(ethyl methacrylate). Poly(ethyl methacrylate) (PEMA) is a hydrophobic synthetic acrylate polymer. It has properties similar to the more common PMMA, however it produces less heat during polymerization, has a lower modulus of elasticity and has an overall softer texture. It may be vulcanized using lead oxide as a catalyst and it can be softened using ethanol.

It is used as an impression material of ear canals for the fabrication of hearing aids. It is also used in dentistry as a chair-side denture reline material for partial and complete dentures as well as a tissue conditioner with implant-supported dentures. It is used as a component of fossil coating and preservation  and for fabricating artificial nails
