Research: Material Testing B



The material i tested was foam, pvc pipe, bending wire, acrylic and polyprop. Using the foam as the seat makes the user feel more comfortable and it also hides the construction part of the stool. The bad thing about foam is that it tends to wear with time. The pvc piping can be used for the structural part of th
e stool, but i might get warped or broke if heavy weight is applied on it. Bending wire is a way for providing an original way for a seat, but with time, the metal tends to oxydide and makes the seat dirty. Acrylic sheet is also a way to provide structural strength, because its not that flexible easy to work with. It is also weatherproof, the bad side is that it tends to get heavy.
