Creativity can be defined as problem identification and idea generation whilst innovation can be defined as idea selection Wholesale Custom Jerseys , development and commercialisation.

There are other useful definitions in this field, for example, creativity can be defined as consisting of a number of ideas, a number of diverse ideas and a number of novel ideas.

There are distinct processes that enhance problem identification and idea generation and, similarly, distinct processes that enhance idea selection, development and commercialisation. Whilst there is no sure fire route to commercial success Wholesale Authentic Jerseys , these processes improve the probability that good ideas will be generated and selected and that investment in developing and commercialising those ideas will not be wasted.

the Value of Frameworks

One of the most valuable tools for maximising idea generation is the use of frameworks. Frameworks break a large task into smaller more manageable pieces but also include the sum of knowledge of previous research.

Exercise 1: For example, without reading further, write down a number of ideas that tell me about your business or endeavour.

Now count the number of ideas you have produced.

Exercise 2: Now we will use the very basic and standard PEST framework for analysing macro effects.

Write down a number of ideas that tell me of the political effects that influence your business or endeavour.

Now write down a number of ideas that tell me of the economic effects that influence your business or endeavour.

Now write down a number of ideas that tell me of the social effects that influence your business or endeavour.

Now write down a number of ideas that tell me of the technological effects that influence your business or endeavour.

Now count the number of ideas you have produced.

It is likely exercise 2 will have produced about four times the number of ideas of Exercise 1.

PTFE has a reputation of “king of plastic”. PTFE material, such as PTFE Teflon film, Teflon pad and POM PTFE is vastly used in industrial areas such as chemical, petroleum Wholesale Jerseys From China , textile, food, paper manufacture, medicine, electronic and mechanical industry, as well as the realm of marine operations.

 

1. The Application of Corrosion Resistance

 

PTFE material has an excellent property of corrosion resistance, so that it has already been the main corrosion-resistant material in petroleum Wholesale Jerseys China , chemical and textile industry. Meanwhile, since PTFE material has properties of corrosion-resistance, anti-aging, low friction coefficient and not sticky, wide heat resistance range, good elasticity, it can be used to make the seal which requires a high level of corrosion-resistance and can be used in temperature higher than hundred degrees Wholesale Jerseys , such as, heat exchanger, high pressure vessel, and drawbar seal etcetera.

 

2. Applications in Construction Industry

 

The silicone sheet is the optimal choice for machinery parts, which can lubricate themselves without oil, for the friction coefficient of this material is the lowest in all the known solid materials. Its specific applications include used in chemical equipment, paper-making machinery Cheap Hockey Jerseys , and it truly is also far and widely used in bridge, tunnel, bridge bearings, bridge swivels or something like them in civil construction engineering.

 

3. Applications in Electronic and Electric Fields

 

The inherent properties of low loss and small permittivity enable PTFE materials to be made into lacquered wires, which are parts of micro motor, thermocouple, control devices etcetera; PTFE Teflon film is the best insulating material in producing radio-insulated pad Cheap Authentic NHL Jerseys , capacitor, insulated cable, motor and transformer. It’s one of several indispensable industrial electronics in aerospace as well; it can possibly be made into an optical fiber, for the property of low index of refraction.

 

4. Applications in the Medical Field

 

Expanded PTFE material is fully inert and very adaptable, so it won’t cause rejection or physiological side effects on the body. This material can be disinfected in any way and has the micro porous structure, hence it can be used in various rehabilitation programs, including the using in artificial blood vessel and patch for soft-tissue regeneration Cheap Adidas NHL Jerseys , as well as the suture for blood vessel, heart, general surgery and orthopedic surgery.

 

5. The Application of Anti-sticking Properties

 

PTFE material has the minimum surface tension among all the solid materials, not adhering to any material, together with the perfect property of heat tolerance it really is now extensively applied in making the anti-sticking layer of non-stick pan or something like that.

 

With the continuous growth material application technology, the three major disadvantages of PTFE material, cold flow properties Cheap NHL Jerseys , welding difficulties and melt processing difficulties, are gradually being overcome, enlarging the prospects of its applications in a great deal of areas such as engineering pl. Cheap Jerseys   Cheap Jerseys China   Cheap Authentic Jerseys   Wholesale Authentic Soccer Jerseys   Wholesale Authentic Hockey Jerseys   Wholesale Cheap Nike NFL Jerseys China   Wholesale NCAA College Jerseys   Wholesale Basketball Jerseys From China   Cheap MLB Jerseys   Cheap Authentic Soccer Jerseys
