Researchers at Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, led by Prof. Dr. Nicola Pinna, have made an advancement in nanotechnology, successfully extending the well-known Stöber method to synthesize amorphous ...

Most materials have an inherent capacity to handle heat. Plastic, for instance, is typically a poor thermal conductor, whereas materials like marble move heat more efficiently. If you were to place ...

Henkel has patented a thermoplastic composition for 3D printing, containing amorphous polyamide polymer. The composition includes specific components like dimerized fatty acid and linear diamine. This ...

The properties of semi-crystalline polymers largely depend on two factors: the thicknesses of the above mentioned layers and how strongly the chains in the amorphous regions are entangled. According ...

Composite adhesives like epoxy resins are excellent tools for joining and filling materials including wood, metal, and ...

Most polymers don’t mix—and that’s the point. Polymer alloys succeed by engineering the interface: use thermodynamics to ...

While natural polymers, including starches and cellulose, are still commonly used in biomedical research, the utilization of synthetic biodegradable polymers in pharmaceutical and tissue-engineering ...

But here’s the challenge: traditional QA/QC methods are often slow, hands-on, and destructive. They rely on solvent-based extraction or other time-consuming processes that are unable to keep up with ...

Stimulus sensitivity: They contain specific responsive groups that react to external triggers such as heat, light, mechanical stress, electric and magnetic fields, gases, pH, or particular chemicals.
