Hematene Material Shows Promise for Solar Fuel Generation
An international team of scientists led by Rice University (Houston) researchers has created a new 2D hematene material, an atomically thin form of the...
3D-printability adhesion in lignin-based composites
We report the utilization of a melt-stable lignin waste-stream from biorefineries as a renewable feedstock, with acrylonitrile-butadiene rubber and acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS) polymer to synthesize...
3D Bioprinting Replacement Cartilage for Curing Arthritis
One out of ten people will suffer from arthritis in their lifetime. Arthritis is caused by the breakdown of the cartilage tissue in a...
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...
