Saponification is a chemical reaction in which ester compounds, such as those found in polyvinyl acetate, are hydrolyzed in the presence of an alkali, resulting […]

Shear strength is the maximum stress a material can withstand before failure occurs due to sliding forces acting parallel to its surface.

Shore hardness is a measure of how resistant a material is to indentation, typically used to evaluate the hardness of elastomers and plastics using a […]

Shrinkage rate is the percentage of size reduction a material experiences as it cools or cures, impacting dimensional accuracy in molding and manufacturing.

Stress relaxation is the gradual reduction of internal stresses in a material over time when subjected to a constant load or deformation, resulting in a […]
