Electromagnetic radiation interferes with the operation of electronic devices and poses a threat to human health, while traditional microwave absorbing materials are difficult to meet the core ...

Research funded by the U.S. Army Research Lab has resulted in a 'super foam' that absorbs 10X more energy than existing ...

Composite and hybrid materials constitute a rapidly advancing field in materials science, wherein two or more distinct constituents are combined to produce synergistic properties unavailable in the ...

Vibration-absorbing, sound-damping materials such as sheets of rubber and expanded foam tend to be thick, bulky and soft. A new material is a big exception to that tendency, however, as it absorbs ...

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 ...

UD’s Center for Composite Materials reflects on a legacy of innovation and charts a course for the next half-century From hockey sticks to jetliners, composite innovations developed at the University ...

Composite materials have revolu­tionised a wide range of industries, including aerospace and automotive, offering unrivalled strength, lightness and design flexibility compared to more conventional ...

Critical reinforcement materials will enhance initiatives for IC substrates and semiconductor packaging technologies.
