Polymers are materials composed of repeated chains of molecules. Both natural and synthetic polymers possess many important properties that are influenced by the conformation and composition of ...

Complex fabrication procedures and heterogeneous components contribute to the varied microstructures of PBX materials, including voids or pores, cracks, material interfaces, and micro-strains.

Studying polymers is the most widespread use of thermal analysis. It is used to measure the physical properties of materials as well as their thermal and mechanical history. This is used to estimate ...

Discover how NMR technology is used to analyze and understand the polymers that shape our everyday products and materials.

Different from small molecules, polymer will fold into lamellar crystals during crystallization and further assemble into lamellar stacks. Synchrotron Small-Angle X-Ray Scattering (SAXS) is an ...

Nanocomposites are igniting exciting discussions across various industries right now, including the automotive industry, due to them being a supreme class of high-performance materials. They ...

Fast-scanning atomic force microscopy imaging of the molecule at two different time points shows positional shifts along the polymer chain on the left. On the right, the molecular structure of PEG ...

Textiles exhibit many advantages including high strength/weight ratio and high corrosion resistance. Therefore, textiles can substitute steels in textile-reinforced concrete (TRC) and can strengthen ...
