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 ...
From snowflakes to quartz, nature’s crystalline structures form with a reliable, systemic symmetry. Researchers at Drexel University, who study the formation of crystalline materials, have shown that ...
The structure of semi-crystalline polymers largely depends on how strongly their molecular chains are entangled. Following numerous experiments, researchers developed a new model to predict the ...
Distinguished University and Charles T. and Ruth M. Bach Professor Yury Gogotsi is the recipient of a four-year NSF grant from the Division of Materials Research, “Synthesis and Optoelectronic ...
Graphene consists of a two-dimensional carbon layer in which the carbon atoms are arranged on a hexagonal lattice, resembling a honeycomb. Carbon nanotubes are rolled-up sheets of graphene, and thick ...
Notably, this assembly process occurs spontaneously without chemically modifying the viruses, setting it apart from previous techniques that require laborious genetic alterations or additional ...
It’s long been established that retained fiber length has a direct impact on mechanical properties of composites. Shown above, flexural modulus is plotted against notched Charpy impact strength for a ...
Self-lubricating nickel mold with nano-fillers enables defect-free polymer microstructure production
New nickel-PTFE nanocomposite mold integrates lubricating particles directly into the matrix, achieving over 1,500 defect-free molding cycles without coatings for microfluidic devices. (Nanowerk News) ...
Responsive polymers and smart materials adapt to stimuli, providing solutions to drug delivery, tissue engineering, and even ...
