Though the electronic design for implantation devices has advanced, the insulation coating has not received much attention.

Key Points: 
  • Though the electronic design for implantation devices has advanced, the insulation coating has not received much attention.
  • As a result, device failures arising from the degradation of the insulating material have become frequent.
  • Also, the coating of biomedical devices with collagen nanofibers a biopolymer forming the stiff \'skeleton\' of cartilage failed to provide the required properties.
  • It essentially short-circuited the design of the materials that were previously done by costly and lengthy trial-and-error process.

  • They include baby diapers, feminine care (femcare) products such as sanitary pads and panty liners, and products for coping with adult incontinence (AI).
  • In 2020 production was only 2.1 million tons, which is minimal relative to the availability of polymers as a whole.
  • Consequently, companies which manufacture nonwovens for use in AHPs will have to compete with producers of plastic packaging for whatever capacity becomes available.

b'The "Global Thermoplastic Elastomers: Motor Vehicle Market" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com\'s offering.\nThis study analyzes the global motor vehicle market for thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs) by region and product.\nHistorical data (2009, 2014, and 2019) and forecasts for 2024 and 2029 are presented for automotive TPE demand in metric tons.\nFor the purposes of this study, a thermoplastic elastomer is defined as any thermoplastic material that exhibits elastomeric properties; TPEs therefore offer the functional performance characteristics of thermoset rubber but are processed using the methods and machinery of rigid thermoplastics.\nSBCs that do not exhibit elastomeric properties (i.e., high styrene products that contain roughly 60% or more styrene) are excluded from the scope of this study.\nWhile TPOs and TPVs are "polyolefin elastomers" in a technical sense, they are defined separately for the purposes of this study.

  • Various sources and manufacturers differ on the degree of vulcanization required to define an olefinic TPE as a TPV, so estimates of current global demand can vary.\nFor the purposes of this report, motor vehicle TPEs are defined as those used in light, medium, and heavy motor vehicles in both OEM and aftermarket applications, including exterior, structural, engine, mechanical, and interior applications:\nengine and mechanical, including gaskets, belts, and hoses, as well as air ducts and cuffs, and wires and cables\nTPEs covered in this report are:\n'
