scorability Explanation: I'm not at all sure about this, nor whether it would fit your specific context. Polystyrene (High-impact Polystyrene) Economical Ease of Processing Need Heat Score (non-foldable / scorable) http://unicorngraphics.com/printing/plastic.html The wing 10 is sweptback and is formed from a flat sheet of polystyrene foam, or other material of similar characteristics, i.e., a semi-rigid, scorable material http://www.patentstorm.us/patents/5908341/description.html http://www.wipo.int/pctdb/en/wo.jsp?IA=US2003017878&DISPLAY=...

frangibility; breakability Explanation: note: by improving the above qualities it actually means that the negative factor inherent in it(the frangibility or breakability) is reduced Noun 1. breakability - quality of being easily damaged or destroyed fragility, frangibility, frangibleness vulnerability - susceptibility to injury or attack Based on WordNet 3.0, Farlex clipart collection. © 2003-2008 Princeton University, Farlex Inc.

16 mins confidence: peer agreement (net): +1
peer agreement (net): +1toughness Explanation: Although "sécable" means divisible, it seems unlikely that any material would be improved by making it more frangible. Toughness is a quality much sought after in materials engineering, and is, in a sense, the opposite of brittleness (and not to be confused with strength or stiffness). Any addition of fibrous material to a brittle one (eg collagen in bone) will make it much tougher. But this could be completely the wrong translation.... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 23 hrs (2008-09-19 10:29:37 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- The "meaning" remains intact (despite the negative inversion) since the required effect is that the material is in some sense "improved". I would never refer to "improved breakability" on account of its ambiguity. Hardness is certainly an important characteristic of polymers, but not really consistent with the "divisibility" aspect of "sécabilité". |
