Polymer materials play an increasingly important role in a variety of industrial applications, thanks to their distinct physical and chemical properties. Among their key mechanical characteristics, ...

Amorphous and semicrystalline polymers exhibit thermal behaviours governed by the interplay of three distinct microstructural phases: the crystalline fraction (CF), the rigid amorphous fraction (RAF) ...

High-performance polymers justify premium costs through superior combined-stress endurance in demanding electric vehicle ...

Thermal transport is a fundamental process that plays an essential role in a wide range of technologies, from advanced microelectronics and energy storage systems to materials engineered for extreme ...

Polyolefins are thermoplastics synthesized from ethylene and propylene, primarily sourced from oil, natural gas, and sugar cane. They constitute about 50 % of plastic consumption in Europe and ...

In most polymer studies, nitrogen or another inert gas, such as helium or argon, is used as a purge gas to ensure that the polymer undergoes pyrolysis instead of combustion. In later stages, the purge ...

Polymers are used in many industries, including food packaging, tire manufacturing, adhesives, and medical-grade plastics. Photothermal atomic force microscope-based infrared spectroscopy (AFM-IR) ...

Sentherm’s thermally conductive polymer formulations achieve 1.5-5.0 W/m·K through-thickness conductivity range, with results up to 18.88 W/m·K in certain polymers, using hybrid conductive filler ...

Polymer bearings do not operate in isolation. Their performance depends on how bearing materials mating surfaces, housings, ...
