Semiconducting polymers are an unruly bunch, but now engineers have developed a new method for getting them in line that could pave the way for cheaper, greener, "paint-on" plastic electronics.

We have been developing fast-response ferroelectric liquid crystal (FLC) devices using fine polymer walls and fibers for future flexible TV displays with excellent portability. In the device ...

In a paper to be published in the forthcoming issue in NANO, a team of researchers from Henan University have investigated the flame retardant performance of epoxy resin using a boron nitride ...

It is critical to always be aware of how material anisotropy might affect a design. A case in point is how anisotropy played a part in an individual getting injured when he tried to loosen the ...

Monofilament, including drawn fiber, is extruded from molten polymer resin materials. These resins include very-long-chain polymer molecules. In the melt phase, these molecules are arranged in a ...
