Polymers are useful in many applications, but their mechanical properties can be greatly transformed under extreme temperatures. Knowing their performance in elevated or sub-zero temperatures is ...

Polymer nanocomposites are advanced materials with a polymer matrix reinforced with nanoscale fillers or additives. These fillers, typically nanoparticles, have at least one dimension less than 100 ...

Superior cost-to-performance ratio, resilience, and versatility are the core reasons behind the success of polymers in every major field. However, their inherent properties need to be modified as per ...

Conductive organic materials often derive their electronic properties from highly organized crystal structures. Now, researchers have developed an organic polymer that conducts electricity like a ...

Effect of molecular weight toward tensile properties in the present biobased polyesters, HP1. The plots of PE-18,18 (polyester-18,18, reported biobased), and ...

It is not easy to follow the interactions of large molecules with water in real time. But this can be easier to hear than to ...

A new technical paper titled “Non-equilibrium transport in polymer mixed ionic–electronic conductors at ultrahigh charge densities” was published by researchers at Cambridge University, Grenoble Alpes ...

Investigating FKM's stability under pressure reveals critical insights into thermal and oxidative degradation, essential for high-performance applications.

As the pace of change increases in the plastics industry, polymer compounders, producers of resins and additives, and OEMs need to use the latest technology to respond to regulatory, environmental, ...
