Mechanical structures often suffer from vibrations that can compromise safety, comfort, and operational longevity. Traditional control methods, while effective, demand substantial energy and complex systems.
Oak Ridge National Laboratory scientists ingeniously created a sustainable, soft material by combining rubber with woody reinforcements and incorporating "smart" linkages between the components that unlock on demand.
In a recent article, researchers proposed a multilayer system using hexafluoro-zirconated trivalent chromium and polyacrylic/siloxane-silica coatings to protect aluminum cast alloy AlSi7Mg0.3 from corrosion, offering an eco-friendly alternative to traditional methods.
In an article published in Polymers, researchers prepared plant-filled polymer composites using highly plasticized PVC, investigating their structural, thermal, and mechanical properties to enhance eco-friendliness and explore potential applications.
In a recent study published in Polymers, advancements in thermochromic polymer nanocomposites are explored, highlighting their properties, applications in heat detection systems, and the challenges for broader adoption.
Astatine is one of the least-studied elements of the Periodic Table, because all isotopes of astatine are unstable, with the longest half-life barely exceeding 8 hours.
In a recent study published in Polymer Testing, researchers from China developed SiO2/PDMS composites with customized microstructures, enhancing their mechanical and shock-absorbing properties for improved impact resistance.
The Korean joint research team has developed a 4-Amino-TEMPO derivative with photocatalytic properties and successfully used it to produce high-performance and stable fiber-shaped dye-sensitized solar cells (FDSSCs) and fiber-shaped organic light-emitting diodes (FOLEDs).
In a recent article published in Scientific Reports, researchers developed an alginate-chitosan biopolymer composite with decellularized extracellular matrix (dECM) bioink for organ-on-a-chip articular cartilage, enhancing cartilage tissue engineering with improved cell growth and differentiation.
In a recent review article in Composites Part C: Open Access, the adoption and application of virgin fused deposition modeling (FDM) polymers in 3D and 4D printing are explored, highlighting mechanical and microstructural properties, process optimization, and advancements in shape-memory polymer composites.
