Patented nano-technology for wide range of resins.A recently patented nanocomposite technology reportedly enhances the mechanical properties of a wide range of commodity and engineering thermoplastics and thermosets. Foster Corp., Putnam, Conn., has commercialized this technology under the NanoMed brand. It is aimed primarily at medical devices such as intravascular intravascular /in·tra·vas·cu·lar/ (in?trah-vas´ku-lar) within a vessel. in·tra·vas·cu·lar adj. Within one or more blood vessels. or balloon-type catheters. The new technology uses nanoclay particles and crosslinking techniques to increase strength, elongation, and flame retardancy. The synergistic effect reportedly results in up to 50% higher flexural flexural pertaining to the flexure of a joint. flexural deformity fixation of joints in flexion. In the newborn called contracted calves or foals. modulus while retaining over 50% of the original elongation properties in some polymers. The technology can be applied to PE, PP, PVC PVC: see polyvinyl chloride. PVC in full polyvinyl chloride Synthetic resin, an organic polymer made by treating vinyl chloride monomers with a peroxide. , PC, PET, PBT, PES pes (pes) pl. pe´des [L.] 1. foot. 2. any footlike part. pes n. pl. pe·des 1.
