Infrared thermography is a non-destructive technique that can be exploited in many fields including polymer composite investigation. Based on emissivity and thermal diffusivity variation; components, ...
The use of polymer-metal laminates in recent years has been gaining popularity. This is due to the fact that they are lighter and have better physical properties such as elasticity modulus, tensile ...
Because it's nearly impermeable to gases, the polymer coating could be used to protect solar panels, machinery, infrastructure, and more. (Nanowerk News) MIT researchers have developed a lightweight ...
When we talk about defects, we generally think of flaws or impairments. However, as far as materials science is concerned, defects represent windows of opportunity. A new Collaborative Research Center ...
The concept of zero defect manufacturing has been around for decades, arising first in the aerospace and defense industry. Since then, this manufacturing approach has been adopted by the automotive ...
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) ...
Nanoimprint lithography (NIL) is an advanced nanofabrication technique capable of creating patterns and structures smaller than 10 nm with low cost, high throughput ...
A research team based in China and the United States has developed electroactive polymer zwitterions to modify zinc oxide interlayers in organic solar cells. Their work was found to passivate defects ...
MIT researchers tested the gas permeability of their new polymer films by suspending them over microwells to form bubbles. Some bubbles from 2021 experiments are still inflated. This optical ...
