| | Mokume Gane in Polymer Clay | | 2008-02-14 12:43:23 | | Mokume Gane is a Japanese metalsmithing technique in which thin layers of metal are fused together and manipulated to create beautiful patterns that resemble the grain of wood. It involves using extreme heat and pressure to mix and twist the metals to form swirl patterns—very intense, requiring heavy-duty equipment.Lindly Haunani's Polymer Clay Silver Leaf Technique Mokume Gane HeartsIn polymer clay terms, mokume gane is a method of stacking, layering, and laminating sheets of polymer clay together, and distorting them to create intricate patterns. This is the process:Sheets of clay and sometimes other materials, like metallic foils, are stacked.The stack is rolled through pasta machine, thinning the layers.This sheet is then cut and stacked to make a loaf.The loaf is stamped and manipulated with various tools and processes to distort the patterns in the layers.Thin slices are shaved off the loaf with a sharp blade.Mokume Gane Patterns in Polymer ClayMokume Gane PendantExcellent Poly... | | By: Designing Divas Handcrafted Jewelry Independent De | | |
| | Polymer Clay Jewelry | | 2008-02-14 12:42:36 | | Polymer Clay is a pliable, blendable polymer compound for artists and crafters. It isn't real clay, which is fine particles of silicate suspended in water. Polymer Clay is fine particles of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) suspended in a plasticizer, but it can be used like clay. Polymer Clay Cuff BraceletColored and Translucent Polymer Clay collage layered over a metal armaturePolymer Clay comes in dozens of colors, and you can blend them together like paints to make your own colors. The clay's pliability and ductility allow you to use techniques from glasswork, textile arts, and sculpture. It doesn't dry out, so you can sculpt and form it without worrying about a time limit. The firing process that fuses the particles into a solid requires only low temperatures, low enough to use your own oven. No expensive kilns to buy. Polymer Clay JewelryWhen fired, the clay gets hard enough to make it extremely durable, and it can be finished in various ways to obtain textures from glassy to stone-like.... | | By: Designing Divas Handcrafted Jewelry Independent De | | |

| Polymer Improves Chip Manufacturing | | 2008-02-12 07:06:00 | | A new inexpensive and quick drying polymer, polyset epoxy siloxane (PES), may lead to more efficient and less costly semiconductor manufacturing and packaging. The material not only benefits conventional photolithography processes, but also favors the new generation of lower-cost, on-chip nano-impr... | | By: CR4: The Engineer's Place for Discussion & New | | |
| | Lithium polymer (Li-Po) replacement, the Nanotube battery | | 2007-09-28 23:06:13 | | Everyone agree that battery is the most important part of our digital devices? I think you do. Well, to agreed or not you still have to accept that our devices needs battery to live. Now let’s take a look at the battery we use right now, most of it shaped like this picture on the [...]... | | By: The Bun Inspirations | | |
