Avient Design and Georgia Tech Students Team Up to Innovate with Polystrand™ Composites...

For the brace, Avient's engineering team developed and analyzed three options: a unidirectional, hybrid carbon and glass fiber profile; a unidirectional carbon fiber profile; and finally, a profile made with both a unidirectional carbon fiber and a transverse engineered fabric, which had the advantage of minimizing any potential cracks from propagating.

The two companies teamed up to develop an all-plastic temperature sensor in the 2015 Ford Edge to control heating and cooling of the vehicle’s interior.

In an experiment completed by this customers’ design team, switching to Versaflex VDT TPE reduced vibration of the appliance by 80 percent versus TPV,” said Michelle Hearn, global marketing director, Specialty Engineered Materials at PolyOne.

Our advanced development and technical services teams offer a collaborative strategy to optimize equipment and processes, enabling a seamless transition and enhanced performance."

After delivering polypropylene-based samples from the Maxxam™ FR line for immediate trial, the Avient team also worked with the manufacturer to help them determine the best pair combination design. After Avient delivered test data for pair combinations and the manufacturer’s team completed material trials, they were able to replace FEP with Maxxam FR material in four out of four insulation pairs.
