  • Patent number: 5746963
    Abstract: This is basically an Engineering design of a means to control the stability and or resistivity of certain materials subject to Cold Flow without materially decreasing the material's normal function. This does not require additional thickness and/or hardening which may increase the resistance of the material. This method overcomes these limitations. This is accomplished by my development of a system of encapsulation, adding certain types of fibers, or both as may be required. The subject material using this method can then be processed to meet specific pressures and resistivity. There are many uses for this method, for example this method can be used for constructing the cartilage for an artificial joint where it is desired to have a predetermined force for separation and yet have low resistivity to normal motion. Another example is to apply this method to plastic bearings and bushings in order to reduce cold flow with little or no change in resistivity.
