Nanomaterials or DNA-based straight and branched polymers, which can be formed and dissolved using biocompatible techniques, are currently possible because of the work of biomedical engineers from Penn State.
Cartamundi, imec and Holst Centre (set up by imec and TNO) are proud to announce to have just won the “Best Product” - Award at Printed Electronics Europe for their ultra-thin plastic RFID technology integrated into Cartamundi’s playing cards.
Polymer semiconductors have the potential to be used as a key part in plastic electronics of the future. These semiconductors can be processed economically on large-area and mechanically flexible substrates.
Royal DSM, a global science-based company active in health, nutrition and materials, has launched an innovative new high performance material based on Stanyl® polyamide 46. This new material, Stanyl HGR1, reduces frictional torque in automobile engine timing systems and will provide OEMs with a very cost-effective tool for reducing fuel consumption.
A breakthrough research by Washington State University’s assistant professor of physics, Brian Collins is paving the way for the creation of biological implants that have the capacity to communicate with the brain, to provide vision to the visually challenged or to control paralyzed limbs.
An experiment conducted in the laboratory of Stanford University’s chemical engineering professor Zhenan Bao has resulted in the creation of a super-stretchy material. It began when one of the Bao’s team members, Cheng-Hui Li was testing the stretchiness of an elastomer, which he had just synthesized.
From stretchy spandex to cushy sofas, polyurethanes are widely used in several consumer products to ensure better comfort while walking, sitting, and sleeping. Once the products use has expired, most of these non-degradable materials are put on landfills. Reporting in the ACS Macro Letters journal, a team of researchers have discussed a potential way to decrease future waste - chemically recyclable foam produced from a novel sugar-based material.
An innovative natural fibre-reinforced ABS developed by ELIX Polymers has picked up the 2016 Frost & Sullivan New Product Innovation Award. ELIX ECO ABS-NF was specifically designed to fulfil some of the most demanding requirements of the automotive industry, and offers mechanical properties that are equal to or better than traditional glass fibre reinforced ABS.
Royal DSM, a global science-based company active in health, nutrition and materials, is extending its range of high temperature resistant bio-based polymers with the introduction of a new family of high performance polyamide 4T materials, partially produced from renewable resources, called ForTii® Eco. These new materials fit with the growing need of faster, thinner and more sustainable devices in the electronics industry.
In an effort to design novel materials for energy applications, scientists have developed a unique system to make artificial polymers that mimic the ubiquitous proteins, which are nature's own polymers and are involved in all aspects of life.
