Scientists have come up with a new technique to evaluate the mechanical forces generated in polymer crystallization as they cool down from their molten state. They used small, fluorescent molecules to ...

eoregularity in the polymer main chain. Accordingly, polymers with low stereoregularity (atactic polymers) tend to be less valuable materials; for example, polypropylene can be a useful material only ...

Liquid-crystal polymers are a unique class of wholly aromatic polyester poly mers that provide previously unavailable high-performance properties. Particularly outstanding is their heat-deflection ...

(Nanowerk News) An international research team, including scientists from the TUD Dresden University of Technology, has developed a breakthrough two-dimensional conducting polymer - a special, ordered ...

Raman microscopy has become one of the most important characterization tools in the polymer field because of the large number of chemical and structural information that could be extracted from a ...

These chains are compounded from a variety of small molecules which can modify the mechanical behavior of the polymer and skew its molecular weight. This makes it almost impossible to establish a ...

Current capacitors often require dedicated cooling loops to keep them operating within a safe temperature range. If the capacitor itself can withstand the heat of an engine block or a high-voltage ...
