Polymorph: Malleable Smart Polymer - 500g (Smart Material)

Polymorph is a versatile smart polymer ideal for hands-on science and design projects in secondary and college settings. It allows teachers and learners to easily explore material properties and create prototypes by simply heating and moulding the polymer. Suitable for classroom demonstrations or student experiments, it offers a practical introduction to modern materials.

• Supplied as 500g of malleable smart polymer in a self-seal bag

• Softens and becomes mouldable at 62°C using hot water or a hairdryer

• Can be shaped by hand and reused multiple times by reheating

• Material can be coloured when soft with food dye

• Suitable for model making, prototyping and exploring material science

• Industrial uses for Polymorph include:

  • Moulding of handles and orthopaedic aids

  • Vacuum forming moulds

  • Moulds for batch producing other mouldings

  • Prototype mechanical parts

  • Armatures/frames for models

  • Inserts for compliant products

  • Specialised components - e.g. motor mountings

  • Moulding of complete products - e.g. torches

  • Joining components together
