One of the first applications where ATSP polymer is being considered is for a NASA-funded project involving rollable or foldable composites for deployable structures. In order to participate, late ...

Polymer-nanoparticle composites are used in batteries, construction materials, nonstick coatings, and electronic and medical devices. But making them requires multiple steps or a lot of heat and ...

When it comes to plant-based materials, many people may picture something that's "green" but not very robust. Such is not the case with a new MIT-designed composite, however, which is claimed to be as ...

Europe and North America are driving expansion of bio-based polymer and bio-based building block capacity while Asia remains ...

UD's Polymer and Composites Lab focuses on the research, development and testing of new lightweight materials for aircraft and spacecraft applications, such as composites and adhesives. The lab also ...

A polyethylene formulation infused with a proprietary, carbon-based material significantly reduces weight while maintaining product strength and durability. The LytR polymer composite developed by ...

The researchers explore the optimization and integrated application of artificial intelligence (AI) in the manufacturing of ...

A polymer, functionalized carbon fibers and a crosslinker are mixed and cured. The components can be retrieved by addition of an alcohol, pinacol. In a win for chemistry, inventors at the Department ...

Polymer matrix composites are highly susceptible to damage when used in various environmental extremes. This susceptibility results from a number of physical factors common to polymers in general and ...

The French group Michelin has signed agreements to acquire the North American Cooley Group and Tex Tech Industries, both leading companies in the field of coated fabrics and specialty textiles. The ...
