A new study led by FAMU-FSU College of Engineering researchers investigating precision polymer blends revealed critical ...

Composite adhesives like epoxy resins are excellent tools for joining and filling materials including wood, metal, and concrete. But there's one problem: once a composite sets, it's there forever. Now ...

The composite materials industry in India is witnessing a pivotal transformation, characterized by growth and ...

In a win for chemistry, inventors have designed a closed-loop path for synthesizing an exceptionally tough carbon-fiber-reinforced polymer and later recovering all of its starting materials.

A polymer matrix is a plastic-like, rigid material (such as epoxy, polyester or vinyl resins) that acts as a binder; a polymer holds carbon fibers together and gives composite materials their shape.

The 2D polymer material assembles itself into sheets. The hope is that the ultra-strong material could have applications as a protective coating or in composite material use.

3D printing technology is used not only to build things as large as houses, but also as small as snowflakes. A new material allows the latter to be much stronger than ever before, and to be ...
