Researchers utilize inexpensive materials to combine qualities that are rarely found together in manufactured products.

Engineers can design the print path used by the 3D printer to program the plastic’s physical properties so that a device can ...

Researchers at the University of Sheffield are developing a 3D cell culture platform with the potential to revolutionise laboratory research into tissue engineering. The culture of human cells in the ...

Scientists in Spain have reported the first self-healing polymer that spontaneously and independently repairs itself without any intervention. The new material could be used to improve the security ...

A team of scientists has created a new shape-changing polymer that could transform how future soft materials are constructed. Made using a material called a liquid crystalline elastomer (LCE), a ...

There are over 20 kinds of elastomeric polymers each having unique physical and chemical resistance characteristics. For example, natural rubber (NR) has good vibration dampening properties, ...

Typically used to attach LCD panels to a board, the connector is a flexible polymer bar with alternating conductive and non-conductive bands. The conductive bands adhere to the contact pads on ...
