Polymer-nanoparticle composites are used in batteries, construction materials, nonstick coatings, and electronic and medical devices. But making them requires multiple steps or a lot of heat and ...

Old trees are learning new tricks with the advent of composite materials. A "green composite" made from biodegradable ...

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 ...

Matmerize, Inc., an industry leader in Polymer & Formulations Informatics announces its selection by the US Department of Defense (DOD) for a Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) contract aimed ...

A new multifunctional composite made of carbon fiber-reinforced polymers (CFRP) and piezoelectric materials can use vibrations to self-detect tiny cracks. This material could be used in the aerospace, ...

FRPCs are composed of fibers such as glass, carbon, or natural fibers embedded in a polymer matrix, such as thermoplastics or thermosets. FRPCs provide several advantages more than conventional ...

3D printing technology is used not only to build things as large as houses, but also as small as snowflakes. A new material allows the latter to be much stronger than ever before, and to be printed ...
