MATERIAL COMBO AMPLIFIES COMFORT AND USABILITY FOR SWISS ARMY™ KNIFE VICTORINOX™ UPDATES ITS ICONIC POCKET KNIFE WITH MATERIALS THAT MAKE A DIFFERENCE © 2020, All Rights Reserved Avient Corporation, 33587 Walker Road, Avon Lake, Ohio USA 44012 THE CHALLENGE The Original Swiss Army™ knife from Victorinox™ is one of the world’s most recognizable brands, and the company has earned a strong reputation for the quality of its pocket knives. Designers conceptualized a new, larger version of the Soldier’s model, including 10 tools, a lock blade that can be opened with one hand and, importantly, a non-slip handle manufactured from a combination of hard and soft thermoplastics. They wanted to transition from metal to a polymer-based, two-component handle that would deliver: • scratch and chemical resistance • excellent mechanical properties • a grippy, soft-touch feel To support the transition, Victorinox sought our help based on its expertise in polymer science and ability to support product development and efficient manufacturing of the new two-component handles.

Materials can be used as tissue-mimicking phantom materials​ for calibration of various mmWave and microwave frequency-based imaging devices, like computed tomography (CT) devices. Some of the information arises from laboratory work with small-scale equipment which may not provide a reliable indication of performance or properties obtained or obtainable on larger-scale equipment. Processing conditions can cause material properties to shift from the values stated in the information.
