formbeständige
Formbeständigkeit, or shape stability, is a material property describing the ability to retain original geometry under mechanical, thermal, or environmental stress. Materials with good formbeständigkeit resist deformation, sagging, or creep over time, while those with poor stability exhibit noticeable dimensional changes.
In textiles, formbeständigkeit refers to a fabric’s ability to maintain its measurements after processing and use.
In polymers and plastics, formbeständigkeit involves maintaining dimensions under temperature changes, moisture, or mechanical load. Variables
Methods to improve formbeständigkeit include material selection with low thermal expansion and high stiffness, stabilization treatments,
Applications span textiles requiring consistent fit and appearance, electronic housings and automotive parts demanding tight tolerances,
