A paper recently published in the journal Additive Manufacturing has demonstrated the feasibility of using cold spray additive manufacturing for carbon-fiber-reinforced plastic (CFRP) metallization with tin (Sn) coatings.
Lightweight as a window cling and replicable as a newspaper, organic solar cells are emerging as a viable solution for the nation's growing energy demand.
Writing in ACS Applied Energy Materials, a team of scientists from Chongqing University in China have reported the development of high-performance anion exchange membranes based on PVA. The research aims to overcome one of the main bottlenecks in commercializing these materials for use in fuel cells.
Writing in Polymers, a team of scientists from China have designed a novel module for soft robot applications which incorporates supercoiled polymer artificial muscle strings. In the study, soft robots have been constructed based on the module, laying the groundwork for future research.
Scientists from Poland’s Cracow University of Technology and the University of Beira Interior in Portugal have investigated the effect of walnut shells on the properties of geopolymers.
Most manufacturing businesses rely on the synthesis of organic chemicals and polymers. The new “electrifying synthesis” technologies, which combine traditional synthetic chemistry and electrochemistry, bring us a step closer to a more sustainable future.
A paper recently published in the journal ACS Applied Bio Materials reviewed the potential and current applications of polycaprolactone (PCL) for heart regeneration therapy.
A new artificial enzyme has shown it can chew through lignin, the tough polymer that helps woody plants hold their shape. Lignin also stores tremendous potential for renewable energy and materials.
Scientists from the Czech Technical University in Prague’s faculty of civil engineering have investigated the biodegradability and ecotoxicity of ‘bone glue,’ a protein-based adhesive. The results of this investigation have been published online in a study in Polymers.
Writing in Polymers, a team of researchers from the United Arab Emirates University have reported the development of a recycled carbon fiber/PLA composite to valorize waste streams and meet growing commercial demands for both materials.
