Heat-Shrink Tubing
Paul Cook founded Raychem in 1957 to use radiation chemistry: electron beams that cross-link polyethylene chains so the plastic no longer melts, only softens. Such a material has a memory. Stretch it while hot, cool it stretched, and it keeps the new size until heated again - then it shrinks back tight onto whatever is inside.
**US 3,086,242**, "Process and apparatus for producing materials having plastic memory", Cook and Muchmore, assigned to Raychem, filed 15. July 1960, granted 23. April 1963: tubing carried through a heated zone in a pressure vessel, expanded as it emerges, and cooled while expanded - "dimensionally heat-unstable tubing".
**You measure the memory and use it**: free-shrink a sample and check where the plastic went, then insulate a crimped wire splice.

Crimp the splice
Slide 40 mm of heat-shrink onto one wire first. Strip 6 mm from both wire ends, push them into a butt splice and crimp each side. Tug each wire to 20 N on the spring scale - it must not pull out.

History & Context
History & Context
**What the patent specifies:** tubing heated, expanded under pressure as it leaves a vessel, and cooled while expanded, to give material with plastic memory. **Modern build (derived):** commercial 2:1 polyolefin heat-shrink.
Heat-shrink replaced tape on aircraft, military and then all wiring harnesses; the same memory idea gives shrink film and pipe-joint sleeves. Its limits: it must be slid on before the joint is made, overheating chars it, and a thin wall offers little protection from abrasion.
