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.

Silane is a silicon-based compound often used as a coupling agent to enhance adhesion, water resistance, and durability in polymer composites and coatings.

Sorption is the process by which a polymer takes up liquids or gases, encompassing both absorption into the bulk and adsorption onto the surface.
