A research group at France's National Institute of Applied Sciences of Lyon (INSA de Lyon) have discovered a technique to improve the mechanical energy harvesting performance potential of smart materials called, "electrostrictive polymers."
Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have developed a new theory to predict the amount of light transmitted via a material, considering its level of stretch and thickness. Based on this theory, the researchers were able to successfully predict the varying transparency of a rubber-like, transparent polymer as it was stretched and inflated.
A material with a unique structure, consisting of woven organic polymers, has been synthesized by a team of researchers. These polymers produce a unique elastic property in the innovative material.

Royal DSM, a global science-based company active in health, nutrition and materials, announces today that it has expanded its distribution capability through strategic partners Nexeo Solutions, Resinex and Ter Plastics Polymer Group to cover the entire EMEA region.
Plastic bearing specialist igus® has developed a system for guide and transport rollers used in the labelling, packaging and food industries that helps OEMs build machines that adhere to some of the most strict regulations and cope with extremely harsh environments when deployed on the factory floor. The xiros® rollers consist of an anodised aluminium tube and two xiros® ball bearings, which are lightweight, low friction and cost-effective in comparison with their metal counterparts. They also run without the need for lubricants, which may damage, discolour or deteriorate the integrity of the material or film during the processing.
