Study reveals how polymers relax after stressful processing
The polymers that make up synthetic materials need time to de-stress after processing, researchers said. A new study has found that entangled, long-chain polymers...
Antibacterial 3D Printing Filament for Medical Devices
Losing a limb is traumatic enough, but adjusting to a prosthetic device can be a brand new challenge in itself. Not only is the...
New coatings make natural fabrics waterproof
Fabrics that resist water are essential for everything from rainwear to military tents, but conventional water-repellent coatings have been shown to persist in the...
Glass That’s Handled Like a Polymer
For all its superb optical properties, fused silica glass is too brittle to withstand the computer-controlled machining processes used in today's industries. Now, researchers...
Graphene forms electrically charged crinkles
Gently compressed stacks of graphene form sharp crinkles that carry an electric charge, which could be useful in nanoscale self-assembly and other applications. For...
New Engineering-Grade 3D Printing Filaments
Hungarian company Philament is an inventive filament manufacturer that turns PLA into more than just PLA – it is known for its PLA composites,...
Researchers achieve unprecedented polymer grid control
Synthetic polymers are ubiquitous -- nylon and polyester, Teflon and epoxy, to name just a few. All are made up of long, linear structures...
Electron sandwich doubles thermoelectric performance
Researchers more than doubled the ability of a material to convert heat into electricity, which could help reduce the amount of wasted heat and...
Graphene assembled film shows higher thermal conductivity
Researchers at Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden, have developed a graphene assembled film that has over 60 percent higher thermal conductivity than graphite film...
Nobarrier to applications for a remarkable 2-D material
Mass production of large, uniform sheets of single-layer molybdenum disulfide, MoS2, is difficult, which limits its commercial application. A*STAR researchers have modified an existing...
