However, many modern phones now commonly feature lithium-polymer (Li-poly) batteries, a suitable alternative for a wide variety of consumer electronic gadgets. This certainly isn’t a fact to ...

Scientists can continue to find innovative polymer research in our existing journal, Polymer Chemistry, and discover interdisciplinary, application-focused work in RSC Applied Polymers. Together, ...

Polymers and plastic resins are compounds comprised of two or more repeating organic or synthetic base molecules. They are widely used as raw materials in plastics molding and fabrication operations.

We have teamed up with industry leaders to create a roadmap to sustainable PLFs. Polymers in liquid formulations – or PLFs – play a vital role in our lives. They are found in millions of everyday ...

Polymer and plastic composites are plastics which are strengthened with fibers, fillers, particulates, powders and other matrix reinforcements to provide improved strength and/or stiffness. Examples ...

Polymers are either natural or synthetic macromolecules composed of many repeating units (monomers) usually arranged in the form of a chain. Examples of polymers are silk, rubber, silicone, DNA ...

Thanks to his internship and co-op experiences, plastics engineering major Kraig Scharn ’20 discovered that sales was the right career path for him. He is now a junior technical service engineer for ...

A method for design of polymer membranes uses strategically placed pendant groups with specific hydrophobicity to precisely tailor hydrated pore size, with applications in ion-conducting membranes ...

Converting pure metals into alloys often increases the strength of the product. For example, brass is an alloy of copper and zinc. It is stronger than copper or zinc alone. Copper and zinc atoms ...

a sublimation printer is used to print onto coated, heat-resistant paper the paper is then placed on top of the polymer and heated, using a heat press, to around 180 to 200 °C once hot ...
