Construction is one of the largest sources of greenhouse gas emissions, so finding new materials and methods is a crucial goal. Researchers at Flinders University have now developed a new type of ...

Watch a Cornell ice hockey game at Lynah Rink and you'll spend three periods looking at—or rather, through—a methacrylate, a type of polymer used widely in paints, adhesives and glass substitutes. But ...

Polymer matrix composites (PMCs) are made by reinforcing a polymer-based matrix with glass, carbon, or aramid fibers. PMCs are classified into thermosetting and thermoplastic resins based on the type ...

A group lead by Prof. Yang Liu from Huazhong University of Science and Technology has created a new type of "upgraded" ...

A proprietary radio-frequency (RF) welding technology from Genesis Plastics Welding (Fortville, IN) enables the joining of thin-gauge polyethylene, polypropylene and low-loss polymers without the use ...

The chemical origin of life on Earth is a puzzle that scientists have been trying to piece together for decades. Many hypotheses have been proposed to explain how life came to be and what chemical and ...

To control color, the team sandwiched the polymer between two gold films. Light bounces off these films and interferes in ...
