Mineral oil lubricants protect engine parts from wear, and this effect is enhanced by adding polymer nanoparticles to the lubricating oil. A UK team has now discovered that epoxy functionalization of ...

Nanocomposites represent an innovative class of materials that combine inorganic nanofillers with polymer matrices to achieve enhanced mechanical, thermal, and chemical properties. Recent advances in ...

Whenever there is a need for curing and drying of coatings, inks and adhesives, UV curing is used. This use of UVs has eliminated the need for ratio mixing, solvent removal and potential life concern ...

Master Bond developed the UV15DC80Med that provides a unique dual curing mechanism that uses UV light followed by heat to complete the polymerization. The UV15DC80Med is a one component, dual cure ...

Given a choice, manufacturers of high-performance composites might prefer to make parts for a variety of applications from reinforced thermoplastics rather than reinforced thermosets. Thermoplastics ...
