Shape memory polymers have relatively good application potential in biomedical and construction industries as well as an expanding shape memory polymer market meeting a demand in the automotive and aerospace sectors will advance product usage in the near future.
Molecular sieve membrane-based separation technology, featured with low energy consumption and small carbon footprint, has attracted much attention in gas separation.
Similar to the charged power suit worn by Black Panther of Marvel Comics, University of Central Florida (UCF) scientists have advanced NASA technologies to engineer a power suit for an electric car that is lighter than aluminum, as robust as steel, and helps increase the power capacity of the vehicle.
Writing in Materials Today, a team of scientists from the USA and Italy has reviewed the current progress and recent advances in research into using polymer composites for food packaging to create novel packaging materia...
In an article recently published in the journal Sensors and Actuators A: Physical, the researchers presented a strategic approach for the development of a biodegradable composite filter via the underlaying of commercialized cellulose paper towels under electrospun zein fibers. They also reported a detailed analysis of its applications in air filtering.
An MIT team has engineered a primarily plant-based composite material using CNCs which make up between 60%-90% of the material. If scalable, the material could present an opportunity to fabricate more sustainable natural polymers. The full details of the research are published in the journal Cellulose.
In a recent study published in the journal ASN Nano, researchers from China developed a bio-inspired graphene composite coating to improve anti-corrosion properties in steel.

The strongest part of a tree lies not in its trunk or its sprawling roots, but in the walls of its microscopic cells.
In an article recently published in the journal Frontiers in Materials, researchers reported the fabrication of a superhydrophobic and eco-friendly coating of aluminum oxide/polydimethylsiloxane (Al2O3@PDMS) composite with mechanical robustness using PDMS, Al2O3 nanoparticles (NPs), and a spray coating method.
In a pre-print article posted to the journal The International Journal of Advanced Manufacturing Technology, researchers reported the preparation of different nanocomposites, namely Al-10Cu/2.5Al2O3, comprised of 2.5% alumina, 10% copper, and varying graphene (GN) weight ratios up to 1.5% by using a combination of powder metallurgy technique and hot rolling secondary process.
