Polymer materials offer cost-effective solutions in engineering, yet their limitations prompt research into nano-reinforced composites for improved performance.

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 ...

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 ...

Polymers are complex materials with flexible forms, widely varied compositions, and properties that change as the polymers interact with their environment over time. Structurally, polymers are large ...

A polyethylene formulation infused with a proprietary, carbon-based material significantly reduces weight while maintaining product strength and durability. The LytR polymer composite developed by ...

Ultrathin, stretchable, and 3D-printable nanotube composites can shield electronics from both electromagnetic interference (EMI) and neutron radiation in extreme environments. Study: Ultrathin, ...

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 ...

As aerospace continues its pursuit of higher performance, lower weight, and improved lifecycle efficiency, metal-to composite component conversion is a key enabler of innovation. Whether in commercial ...
