Polymer science and flexible body jewelry materials by Patrick Poli.

How long can you wear BioFlex®? Its creator answers: it is engineered for continuous long-term wear. Why the "porous plastic" warning describes acryli

Researchers at Argonne National Laboratory have unveiled DONUT, a physics-aware neural network that...

Recent clinical and industry data show that medical elastomers are only truly “medical grade” when backed by ISO 10993 testing, with BioFlex® and Biop

Clearer ISO 10993 rules and new data on silicone, TPU, PTFE, and PP‑R mean studios must treat “medical elastomers” as distinct chemistries, not interc

BioFlex(R) and Bioplast are PP-R, not TPU, so flexible jewelry buying starts with resin chemistry, not marketing labels.

Discover how hydrogels, nanocomposites, and programmable polymers are transforming body jewelry beyond PHA. Stay ahead with next-gen material insights

Why polymer body jewelry loses shape: creep and stress relaxation in viscoelastic materials, and how crosslink density controls long-term fit.

BioFlex(R) and Bioplast are PP-R flexible polymers, not TPU. Here’s why that chemistry matters for body jewelry safety and fit.

Metal-on-metal hip implants failed from tribocorrosion and cobalt-chromium ion release. The same physics governs metal body jewellery contact.
