Abstract:
This research delves into cutting-edge materials science for collectibles, focusing on self-healing plastics, biodegradable polymers, and conductive composites for interactive features. We assess the chemical properties of novel materials and their manufacturability.
Key Sections:
Self-Healing Mechanisms: Diels-Alder chemistry in polyurethanes for scratch repair.
Bio-Based Polymers: PLA/PHA blends for eco-conscious collectors.
Conductive Elastomers: Silver nanowire-embedded silicone for touch-sensitive toys.
Color-Changing Pigments: Thermochromic/photochromic dyes for dynamic visual effects.
Technical Depth:
Provides stress-strain curves for flexible materials and UV degradation tests for colored resins.
