• We have developed a new polymer-blending technique with only a high-shear flow field without any additives. • We have enabled nano-scale dispersion of immiscible polymers by blending with high-shear ...

Recipes for three-dimensional (3D) printing, or additive manufacturing, of parts have required as much guesswork as science. Until now. Researchers have demonstrated a novel light-based atomic force ...

Extensional flows dominate many polymer processes, including blow molding, film blowing, fiber spinning, thermoforming and many others. The rheology of polymeric materials under extensional flows can ...

Conventional inorganic solar cells can achieve high efficiencies but are produced through complicated, costly processes. The desirability of lower costs is driving the development of several ...

Polymer processing aids and stabilizer systems for polyethylene resins are enabling this most widely-used polymer to expand from simple commodity applications into higher-performance sectors not ...

Polymer fibers are ubiquitous in many spheres of human life. Clothing, apparels, cosmetics, cigarette filters, air conditioning filters, fishing nets, composites, surgical masks, extracorporeal ...

Within the chemical industry, the manufacturing of polymers is one of the largest sectors - the volumes of polystyrene alone produced annually worldwide reaching billions of kilograms. 1 ...

Pure quartz glass is highly transparent and resistant to thermal, physical, and chemical impacts. These are optimum prerequisites for use in optics, data technology or medical engineering. For ...

Medical grade polymer tubing is an essential component in various medical and healthcare devices and instruments due to its outstanding attributes, including exceptional durability, sterilization ...
