Lamellar patterns with periodicities from several tens to hundreds of nanometers were created by directional solidification and epitaxial crystallization of blends of ...

Drawn fiber is used in a wide range of applications including over-braiding for hoses, medical braiding, weaves as mist eliminators, strengthening for industrial belting applications, instrument and ...

Polyethylene plastics -- single-use bags and general-purpose bottles -- are indestructable forever plastics. That also makes them hard to recycle. Chemists have found a way to break down the polymer - ...

One of the most promising types of batteries being developed is the rechargeable aluminum battery (AlB). This is built using one of the most abundant, inexpensive and recyclable metals available today ...

This polymer-based system shows that coherent quantum behavior can be designed into stable, tunable, solution-processable materials compatible with real devices. (Nanowerk Spotlight) Quantum ...

In a previous article we reviewed rapid forming of thermoplastic composites (TPC). In the second part of this three-part series, we’ll explore the thermal processes and how these can be managed, ...
